Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin was forced to exit Sunday's Game 2 in Washington after taking a hit to the head from Tom Wilson, with Alex Ovechkin levying a check directly in the wake of that contact.

Dumoulin remained down on the ice for a few moments before slowly getting up and heading to the locker room. He did not return for the third period.

No penalty was called on the play, but Wilson may be hearing from the NHL's Department of Player Safety.
