Dirty open ice interference hit looks to injury Matthew Poitras
Matthew Poitras look hurt after taking a dirty interference hit from Philadelphia Flyers forward Joel Farabee.
Boston Bruins forward Matthew Poitras was skating up the ice when he was hit by a blindside open ice interference hit by Philadelphia Flyers forward Joel Farabee, and no penalty was called on the play.
Matthew Poitras was clearly shaken up by the hit and struggled to get back to the bench, but he would remain in the game to end the first period.

You can see that Poitras is clearly labouring in pain after this hit and struggled to get to the bench.
The first period ended 0-0, but the Boston Bruins could easily be losing this game if it wasn't for Joonas Korpisalo who has been playing amazing, keeping the Bruins in this game and giving them a chance to win.
