Mike Matheson Makes Jesperi Kotkaniemi Pay With Wild Hit

In the context of tonight's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes, a particular sequence set the web ablaze and drew attention.

Defender Mike Matheson firmly put Jesperi Kotkaniemi in his place, legally, too.

See the video.

Kotkaniemi, who is currently going through an extremely difficult period and a dry spell, is having yet another very quiet game.

Very good reaction from Matheson, after a more difficult first period for him.
