A dirty play didn't go unpunished Monday night.
In the game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Boston Bruins, Braeden Bowman's night ended early.
The Golden Knights forward threw an elbow to Bruins forward Matthew Poitras' head in the first period, earning a five-minute major that was upheld on review, along with a game misconduct.
Poitras fell backward after taking an elbow and was seen bleeding from his face onto the ice before heading to the Bruins' locker room.
Boston capitalized on the ensuing power play when forward Morgan Geekie scored to put his team up 2-0.
Poitras eventually returned to the Bruins' bench later in the period, sporting a full bubble shield.
Bowman, 23, has three goals and three assists in 15 games this season, while Poitras, 22, has four goals and three assists in 11 games.
