In a heated matchup between the Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars, a concerning play unfolded as the second period was winding down.

Stars defenseman Thomas Harley found himself along the boards with the puck when Wild forward Brandon Duhaime charged in, delivering a hit that caught everyone's attention. Duhaime's hit, with clear numbers visible, resulted in a dangerous boarding penalty, earning him a five-minute major and a game misconduct.

As Harley lay on the ice, his teammates rushed to his defense. The severity of the hit is evident, and it's a play that raises serious concerns about player safety. Duhaime's actions were met with immediate consequences, and the Department of Player Safety is likely to review the incident, possibly leading to a suspension.

This incident serves as a reminder of the fine line between physicality and endangering an opponent, and the consequences for such plays can vary. The league's stance on player safety will undoubtedly come into focus as the aftermath unfolds.
