After skating for the puck, Joseph initially cross-checked Larkin into the boards. This led to an angry Larkin punching Joseph in the face when the Lightning forward did not expect it

Due to the fact that there's a hearing, Larkin can receive both a suspension and fine for his actions. After the play, Larkin was also handed a match intent to injure penalty and two-minute roughing penalty.

It will be intriguing to see what comes from the hearing. Ultimately, one can understand Larkin being frustrated by Joseph's dirty check, but he handled it in an incorrect manner.
