VIDEO: Canucks' Sbisa lays out Jets' Ehlers with hit to head

After missing the last eight games with an ankle injury, Vancouver Canucks defenseman Luca Sbisa wasted no time making an impact in his return.

The 25-year-old absolutely crushed Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers with a big hit, which sent Ehlers to the dressing room.

Sbisa was assessed a two-minute minor for an illegal check to the head on the play. The Jets capitalized on their power-play opportunity, as Mark Scheifele beat Ryan Miller to open the scoring.

Ehlers returned to the game shortly after, while Sbisa dropped the gloves with Anthony Peluso on his very next shift, paying the price for his actions in a fairly one-sided tilt.
