Los Angeles Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin was ejected from Saturday's game after a big hit to the head of Arizona Coyotes center Boyd Gordon.

Muzzin was given a five-minute major and a match penalty for hitting Gordon high as both players went after an airborne puck that the Coyotes forward was attempting to control:

Gordon left the game and didn't return.

The Coyotes scored two power-play goals to tie the game before Anze Kopitar won it for the Kings in overtime.
