Mike Sullivan found himself heading to the locker room a couple minutes before his players.
The Pittsburgh Penguins head coach was assessed a game misconduct at the 18:03 mark of the third period of Thursday's 4-1 loss in Ottawa.
Defenseman Justin Schultz had been called for goalie interference 12 seconds earlier, perhaps causing Sullivan to offer some choice words from behind the bench.
Sullivan wouldn't divulge the details of being tossed. Saying only, "That's between me and the refs." -SK
