Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien, who is listed at 260 pounds, likes to throw his weight around on the ice.
On Tuesday against the New York Rangers, the 30-year-old got carried away and J.T. Miller was the target.
Byfuglien didn't receive a penalty on the play, but will likely face discipline from the league:
Jet's Dustin Byfuglien's crosscheck on JT Miller is being given extra examination by NHL Player Safety.

Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault was disgusted by the play:
Vigneault re Byfuglien/Miller late 2d: "Violent, deliberate, could have broken his neck. 1 of most vicious cross-checks I've seen this yr."

The Rangers won the game 3-2.
