This was not Zadorov's only big hit of the night, either, as he also got a good one on Stars captain Jamie Benn.

When the Bruins signed Zadorov to a six-year, $30 million contract this off-season, the expectation was that he would bring more toughness to the club's blueline. In this matchup against the Stars, he provided just that.
In eight games so far this season with the Bruins, Zadorov has three assists, 21 penalty minutes, and 24 hits.
