Columbus Blue Jackets forward Matt Calvert was ejected and assessed a match penalty for butt-ending Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin at the end of the first period of Monday's matchup between the two division rivals. Here's a look at the play:

Though Ovechkin did draw blood, he remained in the game, and was seen exchanging some words with the Blue Jackets' bench to begin the second period.

Last year during the playoffs, Calvert was suspended one game for cross-checking Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tom Kuhnhackl, so it's possible he could face supplemental discipline for his most recent action.
