Did The Referees Make The Right Call on This DIRTY HIT? (VIDEO)
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell left tonight's game following a hit from Ryan Lindgren.
It was originally called a major for an illegal check to the head but was downgraded to a roughing minor upon review.
Evaluating the play, it seemed as if the Ranger player left his feet to make the hit which is illegal, but was it direct head contact? You be the judge!
