Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen was ejected from his club's Tuesday-night match with the Pittsburgh Penguins after taking out winger Jake Guentzel with a questionable hit.
The play came midway through the first period, as Ristolainen laid out the young Penguins winger while the latter skated without the puck, with his head turned.
Guentzel was bloodied by the hit, stumbling as he attempted to leave the ice. Ristolainen was given a five-minute interference major for the incident, as well as a game misconduct.
