Casey Cizikas has made himself a marked man.
During a scrum in the waning moments of the second period in Game 2, Cizikas folded an unsuspecting Aaron Ekblad with a punch that appeared to land below the belt.
Ekblad was clearly stung by the sharp blow, but was able to pick himself up and rejoin the scrum.
