Dmitri Orlov went after Carolina's Jeff Skinner on Tuesday night because he felt the former Calder Trophy winner slewfooted him.
The incident occurred in the second period when the two players were chasing down a loose puck near the corner. Skinner said that a slewfoot was not his intention, but the Capitals were unhappy with the move. Orlov wasn't hurt on the play, but he took exception to it and racked up two minutes for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct for abuse of an official while trying to get at Skinner. The rookie defenseman also earned an assist in the contest. Both players could hear from the NHL for their conduct.
