Kings' Forward Tripped by Darnell Nurse, Results in Scary Collision

The Kings-Oilers game on Wednesday got pretty chippy. First, Connor McDavid took an awkward check from Alex Edler, Drew Doughty was in the mix all night, and it was just a physical game from then on. Things took a scary turn when Kings forward Rasmus Kupari collided with Edmonton's Darnell Nurse and hit the boards in an extremely dangerous manner.

Kupari never played a shift after this, but he reportedly never left the bench, which is encouraging enough. Still, that was a scary collision, the way his head took the brunt of the impact.

Nurse did trip him but received no call. All in all, it was an accident, but given the chippy nature of this game, it's plausible to suspect the Department of Player Safety will review the play. It's doubtful anything comes of it, but they'll likely review it all the same.
