New Jersey Devils forward Miles Wood made his presence felt in Tampa Bay on Saturday.
First, Wood leveled Lightning forward Vladislav Namestnikov from behind, and then left defenseman Andrej Sustr with a huge gash in his face after breaking his visor in a retaliatory fight.
Wood was assessed two minor penalties, one for boarding and the other for roughing, while both Namestnikov and Sustr skated off to receive medical attention.
The pair did return for the third period.
Wood could very well be hearing from the NHL Department of Player Safety after this one.
