Los Angeles Kings forward Milan Lucic lost it Saturday night, and Arizona Coyotes defenseman Kevin Connauton bore the brunt of his anger.

After a scrum in front of the Coyotes' net, Lucic landed a right on an unsuspecting Connauton.
Lucic was tossed from the game - rightfully so - after being handed a roughing penalty and game misconduct. While Connauton did slash him, he can't react the way he did, and may be hearing from the NHL's Department of Player Safety as a result.
