Winnipeg Jets forward Brendan Lemieux was assessed a match penalty during the second period of Friday's contest against the Florida Panthers for his hit on Vincent Trocheck.

Afterward, Lemieux dropped the mitts with Panthers defenseman Mackenzie Weegar.

Trocheck appeared shaken up on the play, but did remain in the game. Here's a look at the hit from another angle:
