Towards the end of the first period, Gustav Nyquist was cross-checked from behind by Jared Spurgeon and decided to respond by spearing Spurgeon in the face with his stick. He only received a double minor, as the play drew blood. Spurgeon later returned after getting stitches, so it doesn’t look like he will miss any games.
In the video, Nyquist is battling for the puck with Chris Stewart along the boards as Spurgeon gives him a shove from behind he down and into the boards.
