VIDEO: Canucks' Corrado catches Flames' Gaudreau with dangerous hit during rookie game

Anne-Marie Sorvin / USA TODAY Sports

The Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames were involved in one of the more memorable dust ups last season (resulting in a 15-game suspension handed to John Tortorella), and it appears as though the tension has trickled down to the club's prospects.

During a rookie tournament game Monday night, Canucks' prospect Frank Corrado was assessed a match penalty for this dangerous hit on Flames' prospect Johnny Gaudreau.

Gaudreau appeared uninjured after the game, and saw the incident as a cautionary tale.

The Canucks and Flames will meet in the preseason on Sept. 25 and both players could be back on the ice together in that contest.
