The Calgary Flames season has been a struggle thus far, and in a must-win matchup in Seattle, the last thing they needed was something like this.
An intentional cross-check
Early in the first period, with the game tied at 0, Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane received a game misconduct and was ejected immediately.
Andrew Mangiapane just cross-checked Jared McCann's head into the ice.
That's a dirty play. Mangiapane given a match penalty for intent to injure. The cross-check was to the head of Kraken star Jared McCann, and as the reaction from the crowd shows, it was as intentional and dirty as any play we've seen this season.
Given the NHL's desire to protect the head of their players, this one will likely result in Calgary's second suspension of the season, as they now find themselves down 2-1 without one of their key stars.
