WATCH: Michal Rozsival given a game misconduct for this hit

By Rob Ogden

Just when it appeared Sunday’s Stadium Series game couldn’t get any worse for the Blackhawks, it did.

Michal Rozsival received a game misconduct (and an ejection) after this hit on the Wild’s Jason Zucker during the second period.

The hit resulted in a five-minute power play for Minnesota and Zucker was carted off the ice.

Check out the slow-motion replay:

Chicago trails 4-0 after two periods, thanks to goals from Matt Dumba, Thomas Vanek, Nino Niederreiter and Jason Pominville.

And you can be sure the Department of Player Safety will be taking a look at that hit by Rozsival. #Blackhwks

Reviewing the hit, I wouldn't expect any extra discipline for Rozsival. Zucker had just given up the puck, and it was mostly body contact.
