Nikita Zadorov has become known for his physical game, but on Saturday, it may ultimately cost him several games.
During their matinee game against the Detroit Red Wings, Nikita Zadorov looked to enforce his physicality with a big hit, but he got it very, very wrong.
The hit resulted in an immediate ejection, and given the three-game suspension for Brenden Dillon after a recent hit to the head of Noel Acciari, it's safe to say that this may see Zadorov facing a similar fate.
Vancouver acquired Zadorov in part for his physical nature, so it's not unexpected to see him make a play like this, but in future, the clear targeting of the head needs to change all over the NHL, with this one being a perfect example of what not to do while hitting an opponent.
