Jackets' Dean Kukan delivers nasty elbow to David Backes

Columbus Blue Jackets D-Man Dean Kukan delivered a nasty elbow to the head of David Backes and Backes went directly to the dressing room.


It was a gross play from Kukan who should be suspended for the decision. The Bruins' Backes has a history of concussions and is hanging onto his career as it is. This doesn't belong in the game.
