Memo to Nikita Kucherov: don't touch Oliver Ekman-Larsson's stick.

Kucherov got tangled up with Ekman-Larsson during the third period of Saturday's game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Arizona Coyotes and the two player slid into the corner behind Arizona's net.

In an act of frustration after the play, Kucherov flicked Ekman-Larsson's stick away, and the Coyotes defenseman responded by putting Kucherov in a headlock.

Ekman-Larsson received a holding penalty on the play.
