On Saturday night, Oskar Sundqvist (6'3'') refused to fight Mathieu Olivier (6'1'') after he threw an iffy check unto Sean Kuraly. It wasn't a dirty hit, per se. It also wasn't a hit that goes unnoticed by most hockey teams. It was from behind, no question.


The Wings were leading 4-1, so not wanting to give his opponents a momentum boost would make sense. But if you're going to throw a hit like that, at least answer the bell.
