Minnesota Wild power forward Nino Niederreiter was tagged by a big hit thrown by two Los Angeles Kings players at once in the first period of Monday's game between the two (probably) playoff-bound Western Conference clubs.

Defenseman Jake Muzzin caught Niederreiter with the initial hit, and forward Jeff Carter finished it off from behind:

Niederreiter left the game shortly thereafter, and didn't return in the first period.
