Former New York Rangers rookie defenseman Victor Mancini receives harsh punishment following on-ice altercation with Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes.
Recently a video has surfaced from the Vancouver Canucks game on Sunday night as they faced off against the Utah Hockey Club, that shows Quinn Hughes being visibly upset at Victor Mancini for making a questionable play.
The Canucks captain was desperately trying to get a pass from rookie defenseman Victor Mancini, but the rookie never made the pass and Hughes was furious, as this play resulted in a crucial turnover.
Now, two days after this altercation the Vancouver Canucks made a shocking decision with Victor Mancini, moments before the Canucks took the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

Mancini healthy scratched for tonight.
Feel bad for this #Canucks fan who was excited to see him play although it was pointed out to me that might give Mancini more time to visit.
Definitely a very unfortunate situation, considering the Canucks organization invited a young to meet and watch Mancini play on Tuesday night.
Since joining the Canucks organization, Mancini has made seven appearances and only has one assist during that time, but between the Rangers and Canucks the 22-year old has made 22 NHL appearances and a total of 6 points 1 goal and 5 assists.
Do you think this was Rick Tocchet sending Mancini a clear message for disrespecting Hughes? Let us know in the poll down below.
