Video: Schenn Blows Up Kubalik With Dirty Hit, Fights Zadorov

The Tampa Bay Lightning were beating the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 in the first period when defenseman Luke Schenn decided to try and take Blackhawks' forward Dominik Kubalik's head off. The questionable hit led to Kubalik leaving the ice and Nikita Zadorov stepping in off the next faceoff to make Schenn pay for his actions.

They presented about 10 different angles of the hit and every single one it looked dirty. The hit was late, it targeted the head and there's no room for it in the game. Schenn plays hard and on the edge, and isn't someone who's labelled a dirty player, but this play sure was.

Here's the hit and the fight that followed as Schenn is expected to hear from the league on Wednesday:
