Ryan Reaves of the Minnesota Wild is known more for throwing hands than huge hits, but he gets in a big one here and there. He got in a massive one Wednesday night with his team taking on the Detroit Red Wings.
Reaves happened to catch defenceman Filip Hronek with his head down and going up the middle of the ice. He made him pay by running him over. Hronek had no idea what hit him until he was on the ice with his head in his hands. There was no call on the play, and that appears to be the right call in this situation. Here are a couple of different angles.
