This Brandon Prust elbow to the back of Anton Volchenkov’s head is as unnecessary as it gets. There’s really no way to argue this was anything besides intentional. Head-hunting even. Volchenkov wasn’t injured, but it will be hard for the NHL to justify anything besides a suspension considering the fact that this was a head-shot. The Rangers lead the series, 2-1.
