VIDEO: Beaulieu Rocked By Karlsson Hit

It was a hit heard ‘round the hockey world last night, and unfortunately for Nathan Beaulieu, he was the victim.

Midway through the second period of last night’s playoff game between the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens, Beaulieu got rocked by Erik Karlsson in open ice.

It was a rough game for Beaulieu who took a few big hits. His team had the last laugh though, winning 2-1 in overtime and taking a 3-0 series lead. Game four is Wednesday night in Ottawa. Beaulieu’s status for the game is unclear.

Nathan Beaulieu has an "upper-body injury," per Michel Therrien.
