Chris Kreider humiliates Matthew Tkachuk with hilarious move

The New York Rangers and Florida Panthers have been hitting the ice hard against each other in this year's Eastern Conference Finals. The level of vitriol has risen quickly since Jacob Trouba's $5k fine for his dirty elbow hit on Evan Rodrigues.

However, the tension between both teams has gone beyond rough playing to schoolyard tactics to get under the other team's skin. Rangers left wing Chris Kreider proved this during this evening's game. During the beginning of the third period, Kreider got into a scrum with Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk, leading him to throw the player's mouthguard into the stands when game officials split them.

The Rangers and Panthers are now tied 2-2 in game four of their series in the Eastern Conference Finals. With both teams heading into overtime for the third straight time, all players on the ice will certainly push hard to add another tally to the wins column. With New York already leaving 2-1 in the series, this may be Tkachuk's best chance to get back at Kreider for throwing his mouthguard. If not, he is guaranteed at least one more game to reddem himself.
