Evgeni Malkin, Daniel Paille Can’t Avoid Ugly Face-to-Face Hit in Bruins’ Win Over Penguins (Video)

During the third period of the Bruins win over the Penguins on Monday night, a scary collision took place.

As Penguins center Evgeni Malkin avoided a hit from Bruins defensemen Zdeno Chara, Malkin attempted to cut back but skated right into a head-on collision from left winger and a cage-wearing Daniel Paille.

The result? A little Paille to the face.

There was no penalty on the ugly play, and rightly so as it appears to be an accident. Fortunately, Malkin returned to play shortly thereafter.

Watch the whole thing go down in the video below.
