Justin Abdelkader unleashed a series of vicious, uncontested punches - including an MMA-style hammerfist - on Tampa Bay Lightning winger Mike Blunden as part of a melee late in the Detroit Red Wings' Game 2 loss Friday night.
Blunden, clearly defenseless throughout the scrum, was left busted open as a result of the attack. He told reporters after the game that he required nine stitches.
The NHL's Department of Player Safety will most certainly review the incident, which earned Abdelkader a game misconduct.
