New Jersey Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe spoke about forward Timo Meier's controversial ejection for kneeing Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas during the Devils' 5-2 loss on Sunday, calling it a "tough one."

The incident occurred in the third period when Necas rushed up the ice with the puck in the neutral zone. Meier moved in to deliver a hit and made contact with Necas' left knee. Officials reviewed the play and decided to give Meier a five-minute major penalty, leading to his ejection from the game.
