Calgary Flames enforcer Milan Lucic was handed a double-minor for roughing after sucker punching Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kole Sherwood on Saturday night.

Lucic took exception to Sherwood jabbing at a loose puck under goaltender David Rittich. The whistle had not been blown at the time Sherwood attempted to jam home the rebound.

Lucic landed the initial blow, then got in a few more shots as he trampled Sherwood to the ice.

Sherwood left the game to undergo concussion protocol but eventually returned.

Lucic entered the evening third in the NHL with 26 penalty minutes.
