The NHL's Department of Player Safety might have to put Marco Scandella's number on speed dial.

A week after being fined for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues forward T.J. Oshie, Scandella may be in hot water once again after a similar incident during Tuesday's game against the New York Islanders.

The Minnesota Wild defenseman was assessed a two-minute minor after this hit to the head of Brock Nelson.

Nelson did not appear to be injured on the play.
