Alexander Ovechkin is arguably the best goal scorer in NHL history, but he will hurt teams in more ways than one.
And J.G. Pageau of the New York Islanders found that out the hard way!
As the forward attempted to clear the puck off the glass, Ovechkin delivered a massive hit along the boards. It left Pageau visibly shaken as he struggled to his feet.
Pageau was eventually assisted to the bench by his teammates to the, and then down the tunnel. He was most likely escorted the ‘'quiet room'' for concussion testing.
The referees reviewed the it but deemed the hit to be clean.
