In the second period of Wednesday's Montreal-Edmonton game, Canadiens forward Tomas Plekanec was handed a two-minute minor for tripping Denis Grebeshkov. As you can see from the video, it not only appears to be a trip, but the always dangerous slew foot maneuver.

The NHL apparently agrees, as it has announced Plekanec will be suspended two games without pay.

Rangers 5, Capitals 4: Thanks to his two-goal effort on Wednesday night, Mike Green has now scored in seven straight games which ties an NHL record for consecutive games with a goal by a defenseman. During the current streak Green has tallied nine goals and seven assists. He's simply on a different planet right now.

As for the game itself, despite Green's efforts, the Capitals dropped a 5-4 shootout decision to the Rangers. Ryan Callahan scored his 13th goal of the season in regulation for New York, and then added the game-winner in the fourth-round of the shootout.
