San Jose Sharks defenseman Calen Addison may have just learned a tough lesson about crossing boundaries, especially when it involves a rising star like Chicago Blackhawks Connor Bedard.

During Sunday night's game, Addison resorted to aggressive tactics against Bedard, delivering a cross-check to his lower back and then pinning him down on the ice. It was unusual to see an NHL player treated in such a manner, prompting retaliation from the Blackhawks.
Blackhawks forward Tyler Johnson took notice of the incident and swiftly responded by delivering a spear to Addison's midsection. While spearing is dangerous, Johnson's actions reflected his frustration with what was happening on the ice, prioritizing his teammate's well-being over concerns for Addison.
