by from on (#2JYAB)
That's a no-no.
Montreal Canadiens blue-liner Andrei Markov was tossed late in Game 1 after spearing New York Rangers forward Rick Nash.
The incident occurred in the final minute, with the Canadiens down 2-0 and pressing to score.
Markov finished the night with a misconduct. It is unknown whether the incident will be reviewed by the NHL's department of player safety.
Game 2 of the series comes Friday in Montreal.
