Not long before he had to leave the game after the dangerous play by Bennett, Matthew Tkachuk was also playing dirty and tried to injured Knies.


At least, on this play, Tkachuk got a two-minutes penalty for charging.

These back-to-back hits could have resulted in the concussion that will keep Knies away from the ice for a long time.

Another miss by the Department of Player Safety. One can wonder how they keep missing incidents...
