Philadelphia Flyers forward Chris VandeVelde caught Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews with a headshot Wednesday night.
VandeVelde received a two-minute minor for elbowing with 30 seconds left in the first period, and the league reportedly wasted little time looking into it.
As you might imagine, the NHL Department of Player Safety is taking a look at the Chris VandeVelde elbow to Jonathan Toews' head.

Toews gave the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead less than five minutes into the second, scoring his 25th goal of the season.
VandeVelde was suspended three games by the AHL for a hit to the head in 2012.
