GIF: Corey Perry spears Jamie Benn below the belt

Sack taps appear to be contagious in the NHL playoffs this year.

Perry was assessed a minor penalty for slashing and Alex Chiasson scored for the Stars on the ensuing advantage.

Dallas remained upset with Perry after the penalty, leading to a roughing call on Stars defenseman Trevor Daley later in the period when Daley wrestled Perry to the ice and punched him repeatedly. 

Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf scored on the power play to knot the score at 1-1.
