Penguins' Brassard ejected for dangerous hit on Devils' Vatanen

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Derick Brassard was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct after delivering a dangerous hit on New Jersey Devils defenseman Sami Vatanen during Monday's contest.

The play occurred at the midway mark of the third period. Vatanen immediately went into the tunnel with blood dripping from his head and didn't return, but is reportedly fine after receiving several stitches above his eye, according to Devils reporter Amanda Stein.
