Elmebeck apologizes for boarding Hugh Chan

[Elmebeck 378]

During the first playoff game between Houston and Minnesota (1-2) Elmebeck got ejected for a hit the referees called as "attempt to injure" when Elmebeck boarded @HughJas_ in the Houston defensive zone.

- I didn't mean to injure, I don't know where my mind was at that time, but I apologize profusely. That is not the kind of player I want to be. I think he got to me after going after @Dalton Wilcox in media and then chirping on the ice. But there is no defending the hit I gave him there, and I am glad he didn't get injured from my lapse of judgement.

Elmebeck will be called up to the Board of Player Safety and may be suspended for the rest of the series against Minnesota, and at a minimum will face heavy fines for the hit.

GM @FrostBeard had no immediate comments after the game, but didn't look happy about Elmebeck's behaviour on the ice.

Elmebeck got a game misconduct, ejected from the game 4 minutes into the third period and 15 PIM.
