Peter Laviolette Condemns Islanders Brutal Hit on Mika Zibanejad

Last night's clash between the New York Rangers and the Islanders brought severe heat, especially with that brutal hit from Adam Pelech on Mika Zibanejad. The Islanders clinched a vital 4-2 victory, fueling the intense rivalry between the two teams.

In the heat of the third period, Zibanejad and Pelech collided in a way that had everyone holding their breath.

Coach Peter Laviolette didn't hold back when discussing the incident post-game, putting the blame squarely on Pelech's shoulders.

Now, all eyes are on the NHL's Department of Player Safety to see if they'll step in and review the play. It's a tense moment for both teams and their fans as they await the league's decision.
