Per Peter Baugh, the NHL has no interest in disciplining Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog for hit hit on EDM F Kailer Yamamoto. This comes after Oilers Head Coach Jay Woodcroft said his player was in a vulnerable position & the hit was high, in his opinion. Here is the hit:

This is fairly consistent with similar plays in these playoffs, as it wasn't an egregious check to the head. May it have been high? Maybe, but when a player is 5'10" in the NHL everything is likely to be high-ish. Yamamoto is day-to-day for now.
