Canadiens' Joel Edmundson ejected for cross-checking Zach Hyman

Early in the second period of Saturday's game between the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers, Habs defenceman Joel Edmundson was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for cross-checking Zach Hyman.

Edmundson and Hyman were going into the corner for the puck, but the Canadiens blue liner got his stick up a bit high and into the neck/head area of the Oilers forward, with the officials deciding that a game misconduct was warrented.

Do you think this was the right call or a bit of a weak one? Let us know what your thoughts are in the poll below.
