Maroon gets misconduct for shooting puck into Stars' bench
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Patrick Maroon was forced to sit out the opening 10 minutes of the third period after letting his frustration get the best of him during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night.
The officials handed Maroon a 10-minute misconduct after he shot the puck into the Dallas Stars' bench just before the intermission.
Here's a closer look of the incident, which shows the shot actually hit Stars forward Joel Kiviranta, who had scored with 28 seconds left in the frame to give Dallas a 3-1 lead.
Kiviranta appeared no worse for wear in the third period. He took a 46-second shift that began less than a minute into the frame and then jumped over the boards for a 42-second spin about two minutes after his previous shift ended.
