Pastrnak Receives Big Hit from Lindgren, Takes Retaliatory Penalty & Knocks Lindgren Out of the Game

David Pastrnak received two minutes for interference on this play, but it would supremely unsurprising if he receives a call from the NHL's Department of Player Safety for this hit. On top of hitting Pastrnak, Lindgren also laid a decent hit on Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron, and the pride of the Boston Bruins bares no introduction; no pun intended.

That play happened with 14:53 on the clock, and as of the first intermission Lindgren is still not on the Rangers' bench. Lindgren's head did snap quite rapidly upon impact, so one could reasonably ascertain as to where the problem area is.

Hopefully, it's nothing serious.

To add insult to injury, Pastrnak buried this absolute beauty moments after to open the scoring.

This guy Pastrnak can burn your team in more ways than one, apparently. He can beat you on the scoreboard and step into the goon's role in & out. Not unlike Nikita Kucherov...
