Nick Ritchie may find himself in hot water with the Stanley Cup Playoffs quickly approaching.
The Anaheim Ducks forward was assessed a match penalty after dropping a defenseless Michal Rozsival with a punch to the face during Thursday's game against the Blackhawks.
Rozsival earned a minor for cross-checking Corey Perry, an act that drew the disproportionate reaction from Ritchie.
A call from the NHL's Department of Player Safety may be forthcoming.
