At 15:29 of the second period on Thursday night, New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren cross-checked New York Islanders forward Jordan Eberle in the back and forced the Isles forward to crash face-first into the Rangers net.
Eberle would need help from his teammates to get off the ice and wouldn't return until the third period. As punishment for his dirty hit, Lindgren received a two-minute minor penalty for cross-checking.
Based on the severity of the hit, as is stated in the Rule Book (Rule 59.3) Lindgren should have at least received a major penalty on the play.
