There are players in every sport that have a reputation of being a "dirty player" or someone who always seems to be at the centre of a controversial play.

Brad Marchand, for example, has that reputation because as skilled a player as he is, he has a bit of a history of suspensions and being a player that does cross the line from time to time.

 

Alexander Burrows is one of those players, too, and on Tuesday night, he was at the centre of another incident, this one involving Taylor Hall.

During the second period of the Devils and Senators game in Ottawa, Burrows went after Hall and when the two players were on the ice, he appeared to knee Hall in the head.

Hall stayed in the game and commented on the incident after the game.

We imagine the Department of Player Safety will take a look at the incident and based on Burrows' history, don't be surprised if he gets suspended.
