The incident took place in the second period of the Capitals Game 6 elimination of the Flyers when Schenn made contact with Oshie’s head while delivering a hit.  He also appears to leave his feet while delivering the hit.

Oshie immediately left the game and remained out of action for the remainder of the period before returning in the final frame.

Capitals captured the sixth game of the series 1-0 to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
