Dallas Stars defenseman Jani Hakanpaa was tossed from Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Kings for injuring blue-liner Drew Doughty.
Hakanpaa appeared to go knee-on-knee with Doughty late in the second period, making contact after the Kings defenseman released the puck.
The officials handed Hakanpaa a major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct following the incident, which took place with 4:01 remaining in the second stanza.
Doughty did not emerge for the start of the third period and was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
