Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad accidentally ran over a linesman during the second period of Thursday night's game in Minnesota.
The linesman had just dropped the puck for a face-off in the Wild zone and stepped aside when the puck came near him. Ekblad began chasing after the puck and ran right into the linesman from behind at full speed, knocking him to the ice.
Fortunately, the linesman appeared to be OK, but that had to hurt.
