Whitecloud was not penalized for the hit, but did receive a two-minute roughing call for his confrontation with Leafs defenceman Simon Benoit, who wrestled him to the ice almost immediately. Benoit was handed a double minor on the play."I think his feet were off the ice when he hit Kniesy right to the head, so I had to go in there and just protect my teammate," Benoit said via TSN's Mark Masters.The Leafs head coach took a different tune, calling the play clean.
Ekman-Larsson, 33, had 20:21 of ice time during his team's 3-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday while recording an assist.
