Kelley L Cox / USA Today
Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows was forced to leave Wednesday's game against Minnesota after this hit delivered by Wild forward Nino Niederreiter.
Niederreiter was assessed a minor penalty for interference, while Burrows went straight to the dressing room.
He did, however, return moments later.
