Sparks flew at the 2017 NHL Celebrity All-Star Shootout Saturday, as Hall of Fame defenseman Chris Pronger brutally slammed pop star Justin Bieber into the Staples Center glass.

The 5-foot-9, 145-pound Bieber was no match against the 6-foot-6, 220-pound Pronger and this devastating blow was the result.

The hit was so vicious that the vice president of NHL Player Safety was forced to chime in.

Fellow Hall of Famer Al MacInnis seemed to appreciate the Pronger’s no-holds-barred attitude.

In the end, Bieber was somehow able to recover from what Pronger called a “little back massage” and seemed to be in good spirits after the game.

The 21-year-old pop star had a goal and an assist as he and the other members of Team Gretzky got the last laugh and took home a 5-3 victory over Pronger’s Team Lemieux.
