Just about 12 minutes into the first period of Thursday night's game between Detroit and Arizona, Drew Miller dumped a puck into the Coyotes' zone during a routine play and got hammered on a big check by Arizona defenseman Klas Dahlbeck. Miller's night was ended by this hit, and you'll see why:

There was no penalty assessed on the play, but the aftermath of the shift showed Miller standing, but wobbly. He went immediately to the dressing room to be evaluated.
Personally, while I don't like it when a player takes a huge check to the head, I'm having trouble explaining through the history of NHL Department of Player Safety decisions what exactly Dahlbeck should have done differently.
