Manitoba Moose forward Evan Polei was given a game misconduct after striking a linesman with his stick.

Polei was initially given a minor, but reacted erratically, swinging his stick. He accidentally struck the linesman, but luckily he wasn't injured.

Polei is likely looking at a suspension for this lack of self-control.
