The elbow by Garnet Hathaway came in the second period. He recieved a two-minute minor for roughing, with Philadelphia killing off the ensuing powerplay by the Minnesota Wild.
Garnet Hathaway has been fined $5000 for the Elbow of Joel Eriksson Ek, which is the maximum allowed under the current NHL collective bargaining agreement.
Marcus Foligno of the Minnesota Wild was furious following the game, letting out his anger on Hathaway and his style of play. Foligno said Hathaway has to play that way in order to stay relevant in the NHL.
