Benoit Pouliot penalized for colliding with Jonathan Quick
Pouliot is becoming the king of offensive zone penalties.

Offensive zone penalties have been a running gag for the New York Rangers during these 2014 NHL Playoffs, and the main perpetrator, forward Benoit Pouliot, is at it again.
Pouliot was penalized yet again in Game 5 when he barreled into Los Angeles Kings netminder Jonathan Quick. Whether it was accidental or not, the sideswipe came awfully close to hitting Quick in the head. Quick fell to the ice hard and took a few moments to pull himself up before shaking the hit off, but he looks like he'll be okay.
Meanwhile, the Rangers went on the penalty kill with minutes remaining in the first period. If they want to avoid elimination in Game 5, the Rangers might want to cut down on the offensive zone penalties.
