One head coach hit a milestone in Minnesota on Saturday night, and the other one got kicked out of the game.

Peter Laviolette was ejected late in the third period of a 4-1 loss by his Nashville Predators to the Minnesota Wild, on the same night Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau earned his 500th career coaching victory.

As the Wild led 3-1 with less than five minutes remaining, Predators forward Scott Hartnell hit Minnesota's Joel Eriksson Ek, and Wild defenseman Nick Seeler responded by roughing up Hartnell.

Hartnell was whistled for a boarding penalty, and Seeler was assessed a roughing minor on the play.

The Predators bench boss clearly wasn't happy about the way the sequence was officiated.

Laviolette was given a game misconduct that was served by Anthony Bitetto.

"There was no call on Hartnell," Laviolette said postgame, according to NHL.com's Jessi Pierce. "There was no call. So it got re-done over at the box. Hartnell made a hit on a guy (who) had the puck (who) didn't hit the boards and then he got bulldozed and cross-checked and everything else and we lost our power play."
