Dion Phaneuf was up to his old tricks Monday night.

The Ottawa Senators defenseman caught Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust with a crushing open-ice hit just over five minutes into the first period of Game 2.

Rust was clearly shaken up on the play, and after taking a few minutes on the bench to collect himself, he walked back to the team's dressing room where he remained, missing the rest of the opening period while also not returning for the start of the second.
