Andersson's Dirty Hit On Laine

During the final seconds of the Flames 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets, defenseman Rasmus Andersson let his frustration get the best of him with a dirty hit on Patrik Laine.

#Flames | #CBJ
Rasmus Andersson leaves his feet to hit Laine in the head right at the buzzer. Not a good look. Gudbranson jumped Andersson, gotta think the league will look at this one.

3- 1 Jackets win. But we're hoping Patty is ok. #CBJ
That's a disgusting suspendable hit by Rasmus Andersson to end the game

Great night for the #Flames

Laine was able to skate off the ice after laying motionless for a bit which is encouraging but there is a solid chance he is injured with a concussion.
NHL Player Safety will take a look at this play and will likely suspend Andersson for his actions.
