Jesperi Kotkaniemi nearly sleeps Rasmus Dahlin with a massive right hand
Neither Jesperi Kotkaniemi or Rasmus Dahlin are known much for their physical play. Dahlin is known for his smooth skating and scoring abilities, while Kotkaniemi is best known for signing a retaliatory offer sheet with the Carolina Hurricanes. The two players were selected 2 picks apart during the 2018 NHL Draft.
Tonight during a game in Carolina a scrum broke out between the two teams. As Kotkaniemi and Dahlin emerged from the pile, Dahlin throws a gloved punch to the face of Kotkaniemi. That's when Kotkaniemi nails Dahlin with a massive gloved right hand of his own.
After being hit you can tell Dahlin is stunned, and he is likely lucky Kotkaniemi had his glove on or it would have likely been good night. On the play both players picked up 2 minutes for roughing and Dahlin received an extra 2 minutes for interference.
