Video- Radko Gudas Hit On Viktor Stalberg

10/25/2015 at 8:26am EDT

from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

Viktor Stalberg will not be available to play against the Flames, having sustained a suspected concussion on an open-ice, neutral zone blow from defenseman Radko Gudas with 1:06 remaining in the second period. No penalty was called on the hit that was delivered with Stalberg being hawked and defenseless as he reached for the puck.

“That was probably the definition of a blindside, direct hit to the head,” (Marc) Staal told The Post. “The guy came from the side, [Stalberg] couldn’t see him and he made contact with his chin first.

“That’s what I saw.”...

Coach Alain Vigneault, who lost the first coach’s challenge in Rangers history when the officials did not reverse an incidental contact, no-goal call against Jarret Stoll at 11:45 of the second period that would have given his team a 3-2 lead, was not happy with the hit and no-call on Gudas.

“For me, the principal point of contact was the head,” Vigneault said. “We’ll see what the league says.”
