GIF: Canadiens' Subban receives mystery penalty after Rangers' Kreider jumps him

Chris Kreider and P.K. Subban were battling throughout much of the first period of Thursday's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers, leading to an odd penalty call on Subban.

Kreider dropped his gloves and grabbed Subban when the two players stepped back onto the ice after serving minor penalties, attempting to goad the Canadiens defenseman into a fight. Subban was not interested, and did not respond physically to Kreider, yet both players ended up back in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Two minutes for being Subban, it seems.
