Watch: Markov handed late ejection for spearing Nash

That's a no-no.

Montreal Canadiens blue-liner Andrei Markov was tossed late in Game 1 after spearing New York Rangers forward Rick Nash.

The incident occurred in the final minute, with the Canadiens down 2-0 and pressing to score.

Markov finished the night with a misconduct. It is unknown whether the incident will be reviewed by the NHL's department of player safety.

Game 2 of the series comes Friday in Montreal.
