The Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators matchup on Saturday featured a controversial ejection of Canucks captain Quinn Hughes for boarding Senators forward Josh Norris.

The incident occurred in the first period when Hughes checked Norris from behind into the boards behind the Canucks net. Norris crashed into the boards, resulting in a cut on his face.

The on-ice officials assessed a 5-minute major penalty and game misconduct to Hughes for boarding. According to NHL analyst Elliotte Friedman, the officials felt the injury resulting from the hit warranted the ejection.

Friedman wrote on X:

"I didn't think this was deserving of a game misconduct, but on-ice officials were adamant this was a major because Norris was cut on face...And, as per rule 41.5, a boarding major resulting "in an injury to the face or head of an opponent" means an automatic game misconduct."
