In the second period of the Caps home game against Tampa, Lightning forward Brett Connolly got hit with an ugly one-two play when he was tied up in the corner by Dmitry Orlov, and Mike Green came in hard and hit him high, making contact to Connolly’s head with his forearm. Video is below the jump.

Mobile-friendly video here.

There was no penalty on the play, but it’s expected that Mike Green may get some attention from Brendan Shanahan. The Capitals have already been without Green for 47 games in the 2011-12 season.
