A dangerous open-ice illegal check to the head takes Andreas Johnson out of the game.

At 9:33 of the second period in game four of the Albany - Marlies series, Dan Kelly hit Andreas Johnson in the neutral zone with a blindside hit to the head. The score was 3-1 Marlies at the time.

Zach Hyman instigated a fight with Kelly immediately after and the penalties fell out like so:
