Claude Giroux destroyed Carl Hagelin on Sunday with a huge hit.

The Philadelphia Flyers center's thunderous check on the Pittsburgh Penguins winger midway through the second period forced Hagelin to the dressing room.

Giroux wasn't assessed a penalty, but Penguins forward Phil Kessel immediately went after him and took a roughing minor in the aftermath.

Hagelin did not emerge for the start of the third period.
