Alex Burrows got heated and may find himself in hot water as a result.

The Ottawa Senators winger took exception to some physical play from Taylor Hall during the second period Tuesday, and expressed his displeasure by taking down the New Jersey Devils forward, leveling him with punches and knee to the head.

A closer look reveals how ugly the incident was:

Burrows received a pair of minor penalties, one for cross-checking and another for roughing. He might also be hearing from the NHL's Department of Player Safety upon further review.
