Washington Capitals defender slewfoots Predators player for breaking the code

Last night, the Washington Capitals were in Nashville to take on the Predators and once the buzzer sounds, you'd think the game would end there. Not in this case, especially after a Nashville player decided to break the code and paid for it.

Capitals defender Nick Jensen took exception to the fact that Predators forward Tommy Novak put the puck in the Washington net as the buzzer was sounding to end the game; take a look.



With time winding down on the clock, Novak knows better than to put the puck in the net as time expires.

On the other hand, Jensen slewfooting Novak after the buzzer isn't the way to retaliate, especially because Novak could've been seriously hurt, but did Novak not expect a response? There was going to be some retaliation for a play like that.



It'll be interesting to see if there's any response from the Predators for the slewfoot on Novak. The two teams play for the final time this season on December 30th. That'll certainly be a game to watch
