The retaliation the Vegas Golden Knights took against Tyler Seguin proved costly. Seguin was briefly down on the ice with a bloody nose after taking a shot to the face from Alex Pietrangelo in Game 5 of their first-round series on Wednesday night. It came after Seguin had early taken a penalty for an illegal check to the head of Shea Theodore.
Dallas Stars’ Tyler Seguin , left, is escorted off the ice by a staff member and Nils Lundkvist, after taking a hit to the face by Vegas Golden Knights ’ Alex Pietrangelo in the second period in Game 5 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup first-round playoff series in Dallas, Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Pietrangelo recieved a penalty on the play.
“He’s a leader on this team. Playoffs are an emotional time, and it’s a revved-up environment,” Knights defenseman Alec Martinez said of Pietrangelo. “You can’t win without emotion either, but you have to keep it in check.”“A veteran guys should know better. We didn’t like the hit on Theodore by Seguin, quite obvious he left his feet and targeted the head,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. “You’re going to be upset, but that’s playoff hockey. You’ve got to find a way to channel it. ...
“Every game is physical. Playoffs is a different type of game. You want to be engaged and physical, but in regards to that hit you’re talking about, there’s no intention by me,” Seguin said. “I’m definitely not, I don’t see myself as a dirty player. ... I definitely wasn’t trying to hit his head or anything.”
Initially in both cases, officials called major penalties against Seguin and Pietrangelo. Both were downgraded to two-minute minors after replay review.
