Controversial Hit During Red Wings & Rangers Game Calls For Investigation

In a game between the Detroit Red Wings and the New York Rangers, Detroit's Lucas Raymond faced a potentially career-threatening situation. A dirty knee-on-knee hit from Rangers' forward Vincent Trochek during the 2nd period sent shockwaves through Madison Square Garden.

Teammate J.T. Compher stepped in, urging Trocheck to drop the gloves, but both were halted by officials.


Despite the concerning hit, the good news is that Raymond seemed relatively unscathed, showing resilience by staying in the game. However, knee-on-knee collisions are notorious for causing serious injuries, prompting concerns about player safety.


The NHL Department of Player Safety may need to investigate Trocheck's actions during this game to ensure the wellbeing of players and maintain the integrity of the sport. Such hits have the potential to alter careers and deserve careful scrutiny by the league.
