Head Shot By Lafreniere Sends Hedman to Locker Room (Video)

The New York Rangers really brought their physical game into Tampa for Game 6. Not long after Jacob Trouba's controversial hit on Corey Perry, youngster Alexis Lafreniere threw a questionable hit of his own on defenseman Victor Hedman.

Hedman broke his stick in anger after yelling at the official. He proceeded to the locker room almost immediately.

Again, there was no call on this play. The officials really seem to be permitting the guys to play tonight and pocketing their whistles... almost too much as several Bolts players have made early visits to the locker room in the second period.

The Department of Player Safety takes head shots very seriously, especially when they can be reasonably avoided.
