Video: Corey Perry With Gutless Cross-Check on Dylan DeMelo

The Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets battled it out on Thursday night in a game that saw Canadiens forward Corey Perry lay a gross cross-check on Jets' defenseman Dylan DeMelo.

The play happened just over the halfway point of the 2nd period as Perry closed in on DeMelo and delivered a gutless cross-check to the back.

Here's the play as Perry was up to his old tricks on Thursday:
