Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Anton Stralman needed just one shift to decimate a pair of Winnipeg Jets players.
Stralman caught forwards Nikolaj Ehlers and Bryan Little with devastating open-ice hits late in the second period of Thursday's game. Little had to be helped off the ice by the Jets' training staff, and didn't return.
Stralman was jumped by Jets forward Blake Wheeler following the Little hit, and received a minor penalty for roughing on Wheeler.
The fact that Stralman wasn't penalized for the hits didn't sit well with Jets head coach Paul Maurice, who went berserk after the referees sorted everything out, landing him a game misconduct.
