Gerard Gallant not happy that Trouba had to fight after two huge hits

New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba likes to play on the edge and at times, he has gone a bit too far. On Monday night against the Calgary Flames, Trouba threw two MASSIVE hits, the first coming on Dillon Dube in the opening period, then in the second period, he levelled Nazem Kadri.

After both hits, Trouba was forced to drop the gloves with Chris Tanev and Dillon Dube. Following the game, Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant discussed the night and wasn't too happy that his captain has to answer the bell after every hit he throws.

Even Calgary Flames head coach Darryl Sutter had no issues with either hit thrown by Trouba.

Calgary and New York combined for 62 penalty minutes in the game, Trouba finished the game with ten, while Dube led the way with 17.

The two teams will meet for the second and final time this season on Hockey Night in Canada on February 18th at 10 p.m. ET at the Saddledome. It will be interesting to see if there will be any carry over from Monday's contest.
