Kassian kicks Cernak right in the chest!

File this under the category of WTF!

Midway through the second period of tonight’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Tampa Bay Lightning, Oilers forward Zack Kassian got tangled up with Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak and… well he f***ing kicked him in the chest.

For real?

Yes….

WTF, KASS!?

I think Zack can expect a phone call from NHL Player Safety in the morning.

UPDATE: A more clear look:

I guess kicking your opponent in the chest with your skate is okay now ⁦@NHL⁩ ⁦@EdmontonOilers⁩ ⁦@mybeardnbutter⁩ ⁦@timandsid⁩ ⁦@NHLFlames⁩ pic.twitter.com/NZnVGvDzYE
