The NHL's Department of Player Safety announced today that Matthew Tkachuk will have a hearing for high-sticking Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick.
The play transpired in the dying minutes of LA's 5-4 win over Florida last night. Tkachuk took a clear swipe at Quick, which could have led to a serious eye injury - including blinding Quick in that eye.
What's worse is Tkachuk took two different swipes. Different level of 'Scumbag move' on display here. And this is coming from a person who genuinely appreciate's what the Tkachuk brothers do - well, generally anyway.
