Mikhail Grabovski claws Zack Smith in the face during scrum (Video)

Washington Capitals Mikhail Grabovski clawed Ottawa Senators Zack Smith in the face during a scrum in the third period of Tuesday night's game at the Verizon Center.

Grabovski earned himself two minutes for roughing for starting the scrum (by knocking Smith to the ice), and a 10-minute misconduct penalty (presumably for clawing Smith's face).

We understand that a certain amount of fighting happens in hockey, but Grabovski seemed to cross the line here. This is the NHL, not the WWE.

H/T PD.
