Hurricanes’ Ward delivers vicious blocker punch to Hornqvist

Yet another goalie needs a refresher on Rule 51.3.

Carolina Hurricanes netminder Cam Ward took his frustrations out on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist on Friday. After allowing a sixth goal on the night, Ward leveled Hornqvist with a blocker punch to the face.

This wasn't Ward's first swing at Hornqvist, as earlier in the second period the veteran goalie gave the Penguins forward a piece of the lumber.

Ultimately, Hornqvist and the Penguins would get the last laugh, skating away with a 7-1 victory.
