Matthew Tkachuk got a 10-minute misconduct for dangerously checking Jack Eichel in Game 2
During the second period of Game 2, Matthew Tkachuk delivered a powerful open-ice hit on Jack Eichel. It resulted in Eichel leaving the ice and heading to the dressing room.
Tkachuk, reflecting on the hit, explained that he noticed Eichel with his head down in the middle of the ice and felt it was his responsibility to make the hit.
"You shouldn't be going through the middle with your head down, you're going to get hit, I would go get hit too if I had my head down in the middle. It's not a big deal. He's a really good player. Really good players can get hit, too."
Eichel himself admitted that the hit was clean and took some responsibility for the incident, mentioning that he toe-picked a bit and only saw Matthew Tkachuk at the last moment.
Remarkably, Eichel returned to the game during the third period and wasted no time making an impact, recording an assist on his first shift back on the ice.
