I'm not sure what it is with slewfoots this season, but there seem to be a lot of them in the NHL. The latest came from Ryan Hartman of the Minnesota Wild, who put a blatant slewfoot on Ross Colton of the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. He would receive just a two-minute minor for tripping.

As mentioned in the Tweet, you have to think there's at least a supplemental fine coming for this one. That said, as mentioned by The Athletic's Michael Russo, it does appear that Hartman, at the last second, realizes what he's done and attempts to catch Colton, or at least slow down his fall. Whether that will be enough for the NHL's Department of Player Safety remains to be seen.
