Stars’ Pavelski leaves game following controversial hit from Wild’s Dumba

By Anthony On Apr 18, 2023

Dallas Stars veteran forward Joe Pavelski left Monday’s playoff series opener against the Minnesota Wild following a hit from defenceman Matt Dumba.

The incident happened just after the halfway point of the second period when Pavelski was in on the forecheck. Dumba laid a reverse hit, causing Pavelski to fall to the ice, hitting his head in the process. He was motionless on the ice for a moment before being helped to the locker-room by trainers.

Dumba was initially assessed a five-minute major on the play but it was reduced to a two-minute minor for roughing upon review. Stars forward Max Domi also received a roughing minor, along with a 10-minute misconduct.

Here is some reaction to the hit.
