VIDEO: Ducks' Perry avoids Byfuglien's knee, sets up Cogliano for goal
Bruce Fedyck / USA Today
Corey Perry made Dustin Byfuglien pay for an ill-advised hit attempt in the best way possible: by setting up a goal.
Byfuglien appeared to attempt a knee-on-knee hit on Perry after the Anaheim Ducks forward took a drop pass in the attacking zone. Perry narrowly avoided the Winnipeg Jets defenseman before finding Andrew Cogliano for a one-timer from the side of the net to give Anaheim a 2-1 lead 12:55 into the second period.
Byfuglien avoided supplemental discipline for shoving Perry in the back of the head during Game 3, but he'll need to think twice before trying a reckless play again with the Jets' season on the line.
