Leon Draisaitl delivers a blatant elbow to the head of Torey Krug.

This one was only a 2 minute minor but do not be surprised if you hear more about this incident in the coming days. 

On SAturday afternoon the Boston Bruins and the Edmonton Oilers collided in a matchup between two teams that now appear to be headed in 2 completely different directions. The Oilers have been in a major funk as of late, one that has struck their team several times over the past several seasons, and it was gonna prove a tough challenge to break that current streak of form against a very solid Bruins team.

Perhaps no individual player has contributed more to the Oilers recent slump of form that forward Leon Draisail who has been in a drastic slump of his own as of late. The dynamic Oilers forward has not been his usual self and it was just last weekend that he used a rather colorful expletive to characterize his own performance, needless to say it was not flattering. Perhaps that frustration has finally boiled over however though because on Saturday Draisaitl took some serious liberties with the health of Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug.

Draisaitl dropped Krug in the corner with the point of his elbow and although it was not particular high, it is hard to argue that this was not intentional given just how much Draisaitl lurched forward in his attempts to make contact.
