Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jalen Chatfield will not face any supplemental discipline from the NHL Department of Player Safety for his takedown of Washington Capitals forward Connor McMichael on Wednesday.

In the dying minutes of the Capitals' 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes, frustration boiled over for McMichael, who dropped the gloves with Chatfield. After wrestling, Chatfield swept McMichael's leg from behind him and spun the forward around before slamming him hard onto the ice.

McMichael appeared to feel the back of his head before getting back up. From there, the officials broke up the fight and sent both players off for fighting with game misconducts. McMichael was also given an extra roughing minor.

The play led to some questions and controversy, with critics citing a potential intent to injure with the MMA-style move. Postgame, coach Spencer Carbery didn't address the incident, though he did say there were "dangerous plays" that resulted in "temperatures rising" to end the game.

Washington and Carolina combined for 114 penalty minutes and eight misconducts through the final 7:02 minutes of regulation, as tensions flared and fights broke out between both sides.

The Capitals will get the chance to respond to Chatfield and the Hurricanes when they pay a visit to D.C. next Thursday.
