Early in tonight's game Dylan DeMelo hit Mitch Marner from behind and it appears Wayne Simmonds took a number. After a whistle Simmonds skated into Mark Scheifele trying to set off a chain reaction. As Scheifele reacts the linesmen manage to intervene just in time.
The referees thought this collison warranted a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. After the initial collision Simmonds approached DeMelo and made sure he knew that was a message being sent that it's going to be a star player for a star player.
