After a tough fight for puck possesion behind the Habs goal, Arber Xhekaj pushed Perry down to the ice. As Perry was trying to get up, Xhekaj pushed the veteran into the boards.
Xhekaj then grabbed Perry by his left hand to initially push him away and then caught a left-hand hook onto Corey Perry's face. The Chicago veteran spun and fell to the ice.
Arber Xhekaj wanted all the smoke but the referee intervened and Corey Perry himself skated away from the Habs defenseman.
