VIDEO: Jets' Byfuglien hits Ducks' Fleischmann into wrong bench
Bruce Fedyck / USA Today
Corey Perry eluded a Dustin Byfuglien hit during Game 4 on Wednesday, but Tomas Fleischmann was not so lucky.
Byfuglien atoned for his misplay on Andrew Cogliano's goal with a massive check on Fleischmann late in the second period. The Winnipeg Jets defenseman lined up Fleischmann along the boards in the neutral zone and sent the Anaheim Ducks forward toppling into Winnipeg's bench.

Fleischmann emerged from the bench without injury, but he'll probably have his head on a swivel the next time he's sharing the ice with Byfuglien.
