Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider devastates Seattle's Tye Kartye with brutal reverse hit

He's the top defenseman for the Red Wings, and he's not afraid to use his power! What a hit from Moritz Seider today against the Kraken!

Don't let him fool you - Detroit Red Wings defenseman may appear mild-mannered on the surface, but he's never more than a second away from laying out a devastating body check to an opponent.

Seattle Kraken forward Ty Kartye found that out the hard way during this afternoon's game at Little Caesars Arena, as he was knocked down to the seat of his pants by Seider along the half-wall:

It was part of a 1st period of dominance for the Red Wings, who scored 4 goals in a span of just under 8-minutes of play. Dylan Larkin, J.T. Compher, Alex DeBrincat, and Patrick Kane all scored for the Red Wings, who are continuing to look like a completely rejuvenated team since coach Todd McLellan took over in late December.
