The game ended in a 5-1 victory for the Bruins, but it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine as they lost one of their best players in the first period of the game.
David Krejci received a hit from WIngs Michael Rasmussen and while the hit was clean, his stick came down hard and hits Krejci in the head.
Rasmussen received a 2 minute penalty for high-sticking, but the Bruins lost Krejci.

While this may have just been seen as a normal penalty by most, we saw earlier this month Evgeny Kuznetsov get a 1 game suspension for high sticking, which did not cause an injury to the other player, and in this instance, Krejci left the game. Results of the infraction always matter when Department of Player Safety gets involved.
Detroit's Michael Rasmussen will have a hearing today for High-sticking Boston's David Krejci.� NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) October 28, 2022
