Dallas Stars right wing Corey Perry picked up a game misconduct in Wednesday's contest against the Nashville Predators for elbowing defenseman Ryan Ellis.

Ellis took a long time to get up off the ice and was eventually carted to the locker room.

According to Dan Rosen of NHL.com, it's the first time a player has been ejected in the Winter Classic in 12 years of the event. It was only the second time in NHL history a player has picked up a game misconduct in an outdoor contest.
