Following the game, Zadorov called out Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond for embellishment, which led to the big Bruins defenseman to receive a two-minute minor for slashing. Zadorov also cross-checked Raymond after the whistle.

Here is what Zadorov said to reporters about Raymond:
"I don’t like when the guy’s shaking his hand. I barely touched his hand, so I think that’s got to get out of the league. It’s a man’s league. We all get slashed. We’re all in pain. But you don’t go like this and show the referee that you get slashed. So I think it’s just a little bit disrespectful.”
