Minnesota Wild defenseman Nate Prosser received a five-minute major and game misconduct for elbowing New Jersey Devils winger Tim Sestito on Thursday.

Video of the collision isn’t available yet, but CJ Fogler uploaded a GIF of the incident; Sestito needed to be helped off of the ice after the hit.

More than a few people wondered if the correct call was made.

Prosser, 27, has been suspended by the NHL once (one game in April 2012) during his NHL career.
