Video: Manning crushes Guentzel with massive hit

Brandon Manning hammers Jake Guentzel in the open ice of the rivalry matchup.

The Penguins were up in arms after Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning crushed Jake Guentzel with a hit that appeared both high and late during the second period of Saturday’s Stadium Series game at Heinz Field.

There was no call on the play -- the main objection from Pittsburgh’s bench immediately after the hit.

Guentzel had just moved the puck to a nearby linemate as the play transitioned into the neutral zone when Manning threw the hit, sending Guentzel hard to the ice.

Guentzel, for now at least, appears to have gotten the last laugh. He returned and recorded the primary assist on Nick Bonino’s goal, which gave Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead.

Philly has since cut into the Pittsburgh lead.
