The incident occurred late in the second period of Blackhawks 4-2 loss to the Jets when Carcillo used his stick to hit Perreault from behind after the whistle had blown to stop play.

He was assessed a minor penalty for cross-checking.

Perreault left the ice and did not return and missed Winnipeg's game on Sunday.
