Throughout his career, Nikita Zadorov has been known to ignite the crowd with his huge hits, but he doesn't always consider whether they're clean and safe of not.
He has been in hot water many times with the NHL's department of player safety.
And his latest hit, during a meeting between the Calgary Flames and Buffalo Sabres was more of the same.
Zadorov was assessed only a two-minute minor for his actions, which really doesn't bode well for the league, considering how they say change is abroad and then let questionable hits, warrant just a minor penalty.
At some point NHL teams may dress enforcers, who will challenge Zadorov with on-ice consequences. In an effort to keep players honest and show officials their displeasure with repeat offenders who wish to take liberties against unsuspecting opponents.
