The Toronto Maple Leafs revealed their plan on getting revenge on Nikita Zadorov tonight after a big hit that injured Scott Laughton last game.
Zadorov threw a massive hit along the boards that ended up knocking Laughton out of the game.
Tonight, the Bruins are once again facing off against the Maple Leafs, and Laughton is still out of the lineup.
Maple Leafs head coach revealed his plans to get revenge on Zadorov tonight.

Berube stated that he sent a message to the Leafs players telling them to "get a lick" in on Zadorov if the opportunity is there.
«Well, nobody would be happy with that. It's a tough hit,» Berube said on Tuesday, via Sportsnet. «It should inject some fire in you, for sure. But we don't want to be stupid either.
«We gotta play the game. Yeah, opportunity arises to get a good lick on a guy, get a lick on a guy.»

On the hit, there wasn't a penalty called, but it's clear that Craig Berube was not a fan of the hit.
Berube also thought that the hit was dirty and felt like Zadroov caught him in the head. However, he was happy that Bobby McMann stood up for his teammate and dropped the gloves with Zadorov.
«It was a great response by Bobby. He's sticking up for his teammate,» Berube said after the game on Saturday. «I thought it was a head shot, I have to take a closer look at it, but I will.»
Boston looks to extend their winning streak tonight to seven games, and look to beat the Maple Leafs once again after their 5-3 win on Saturday.
