Keegan Kolesar flips Ilya Lyubushkin over with a big hit (video)
A battle brewed Monday night as the Vegas Golden Knights took on the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres were up 3-0 at one point, and managed to just hang on for the 3-2 win as the Golden Knights made a push in the third. One of the things getting some major attention from the game is a hit made early in the first by Keegan Kolesar.
Kolesar caught the Sabres Ilya Lyubushkin with a huge hit while the two were going into the boards. Lyubushkin actually flipped head over heels before landing hard on the ice. He didn't seem any worse for wear as he popped up right away and went after Kolesar. Kolesar was called for boarding on the play. Here are some different angles of the hit.
