With less than six minutes remaining in the second period, Kirill Kaprizov was skating into into the neutral zone, when Jack Eichel comes across and jabs him in the mid-section with his stick.
After the play was reviewed by the officials, the call was confirmed - a five-minute major and a game misconduct for spearing for Jack Eichel, who put his team in a very difficult position in a very important game.
On the ensuing five-minute powerplay for the Minnesota Wild, Kirill Kaprizov got the last laugh, scoring his team-leading 37th goal of the 2023-24 campaign.
There's no doubt that on Sunday, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety will be calling Jack Eichel for a hearing and there's a good chance he could find himself suspended for crucial games coming up for Vegas.
