In the Arizona Coyotes‘ close 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Alex Goligoski was the victim of a brutal boarding from Brett Ritchie, being forced to leave the game.
Ritchie was given a game misconduct penalty after a clear boarding hit that saw Goligoski bleed from the face and leave the ice late in the second period.

While the hit wasn’t as big as some others this season, the impact into the boards was dangerous and could see the former Stars blueliner miss tonight’s game against the Nashville Predators.
