These types of hits are always gut-wrenching. Tippett was only assessed a minor penalty for boarding on the play, and I'm pretty sure the only reason he escaped a major penalty is because Brendan Smith is tough as nails.

Smith is fine and did not skip a beat. New Jersey failed to convert on the ensuing powerplay, but both teams have scored since.

Tied, 1-1.
