After winning the Cup a season ago, the Knights certainly have a target on their backs, and now, it may be even bigger after Stone's comments following the game.
Unsurprisingly, Stone took a shot at the young player trying to make a name for himself, and now, a heated Pacific Division rivalry may have gotten that much more heated.
During the second period while Stone was attempting to play the puck, youngster Hayden Hodgson laid out a big hit on Stone, leading to plenty of aggressiveness from both sides.
While it may be the last we see of Hodgson in the NHL, these teams will do battle several times throughout the year, and if this continues, we may get much more physicality between these two playoff teams.
