VIDEO: Penguins strike after Kuhnhackl runs over MacDonald

The Pittsburgh Penguins trampled the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday, scoring six times to reach 100 points for the seventh time in the Sidney Crosby era.

The loss for the Flyers comes at considerable consequence, as they failed to distance themselves further from the ninth-place Boston Bruins. But much of the postgame chatter didn't center around the dropped points, but a strange sequence late in the game that saw defender Andrew MacDonald heading down the tunnel after Pittsburgh scored a creative fifth goal.

MacDonald lost his balance stopped up at the boards, and right before Penguins winger Tom Kuhnhackl closed the gap and finished his check.

The contact crumpled MacDonald and left him clutching his head.

Philadelphia did not offer an update on MacDonald's condition.
