by from on (#10XYC)
For the second time in as many games, Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin made a big impact with the body.
After dishing out a huge hip-check on Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Desjardins on Thursday, Emelin was back at it Saturday in St. Louis where he crushed Blues forward Paul Stastny with a hard hit, leading to a spirited scrum between the teams.
At the end of the scuffle, it was the Canadiens who ended up with a power play as four Blues players received roughing minors to Montreal's three.
