Video: Jets' Logan Stanley Sucker Punches Senators' Brady Tkachuk
It was an ugly scene in Ottawa on Saturday as Winnipeg Jets defenceman Logan Stanley decided he wasn't going to wait for Brady Tkachuk to drop his gloves before decided to throw a haymaker.
Tkachuk and Stanley were mixed up together towards the Senators bench, when things escalated quickly, however, Tkachuk wasn't having any part of a fight. That's when Stanley took matters into his own hands, literally, and decided to connect on the button to Tkachuk's chin.
The crazy part, Tkachuk's hampered by a thumb injury sustained earlier this season, is unable to fight and must wear a protective brace. Throwing a bomb at someone who can't even defend themselves is a tough look.Brady Tkachuk’s FURIOUS after taking a sucker punch from Logan Stanley 😳pic.twitter.com/orZunWQwr5

As a result of the altercation, officials assessed Stanley with two roughing minors and handed Tkachuk a 10-minute misconduct for his reaction. After the game, Senators forward Claude Giroux couldn't believe what he saw. "You don't like to see that stuff happening. I don't know if Stanley thought he was in a fight. I seriously don't know what to say."
