Brendan Smith dropped the hammer on Stefan Matteau.
The Detroit Red Wings defenseman caught the young Montreal Canadiens forward with a devastating open ice hit Thursday that sparked a melee.
Smith wasn't penalized for the hit, but received a roughing minor for the ensuing skirmish with Phillip Danault.
Matteau was able to return after being examined in the locker room.
