At six-foot-five-inches tall and 260 pounds, Dustin Byfuglien can provide unique talent to the National Hockey League. He’s also capable of being a physical beast, as Mark Stone found out Wednesday.
Stone was rushing the puck through the neutral zone when Byfuglien stepped up just before the Winnipeg blue line and threw a devastating hit on the Ottawa Senators forward during the second period.
The massive collision brought about a scrum along the boards, however there was no penalty for the initial hit. Stone left the game but did return.
Updated: The Senators have since updated Stone’s condition. He left once again and will not return to Wednesday’s game due to a chest injury.
