Brawl Ensues After Veteran Defenseman Head-Hunts Connor Bedard

Devils defenseman Brendan Smith made a huge open-ice hit on Connor Bedard half way through the first period tonight as the Blackhawks were on a powerplay. The Blackhawks were not a fan of the hit as Nick Foligno made sure to let them know what he thought of the play.

The worst part about the play was that Connor Bedard was seen going down the tunnel towards the Blackhawks locker room after the play.

Bedard has been the team's most important player this season even as a rookie as he leads the team in goals and points. Stay tuned for updates on Bedard's status as the tonight's game continues.
