Dallas Stars winger Corey Perry was ejected from the 2020 Winter Classic for an elbow to the head of Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis.
In the first period at the Cotton Bowl, Ellis kept the puck in the attacking zone at the blue line. Perry skated in front of him and stuck his elbow up, making contact with Ellis' head. The Predators defenseman fell flat to the ice on his chest and remained there for over a minute.
Perry was sent to the penalty box. After a conference, the officials gave him a major penalty for elbowing, which carries with it a game misconduct.
