Vegas defenseman Alex Pietrangelo hits Seguin with a brutal cheap shot
Alex Pietrangelo, known for his aggressive edge on the ice, has been stirring up controversy with his increasingly questionable conduct. Tonight, his actions sparked further debate.
The incident occurred late in the second period. Tyler Seguin, executing a hefty check into the end boards, caught Pietrangelo off guard. Instead of shrugging off the hit, Pietrangelo reacted sharply, swinging his hand and striking Seguin in the face. Seguin hit the ice hard, clearly in pain as he covered his face.

The play didn't go unanswered on the scoreboard. Jason Robertson seized the moment, netting the decisive goal shortly after the incident, sealing the victory for his team.
This response not only highlighted Pietrangelo's costly lapse in discipline but also underscored the immediate impact such actions can have on the game's outcome.
