Tuesday night in Winnipeg, Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey was assessed a major penalty for boarding against Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk.
As the video shows, Grzelcyk pursues a loose puck behind the Bruins’ net, as Morrissey cuts across the crease. Meanwhile, Bruins forward Brad Marchand is at his own blue line. Grzelcyk attains possession of the puck and turns towards the boards to protect his possession. With sufficient time to make a better decision, Morrissey skates in at full speed, launching off of his skates, hitting Grzelcyk in the head area, forcing Grzelcyk’s head to make contact forcefully against the end boards.
