During tonight's game between the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens, defenseman William Lagesson learned the hard way about keeping an eye out for Ryan Reaves. While Lagesson dumped the puck out of the Montreal, he was met by a hard check from Reaves.
The hit which occured along the side boards left Lagesson clearly shaken. But this hit was a good reminder the importance of keeping his head up while players like Reaves are on the ice.
Lagesson would remain in the game after taking a couple of shifts to regain his composer. Reaves would go on to score his 5th goal of the season and 2nd in his last 4 games.
