Matthew Tkachuk Violently Goes After Nico Hischier
Last night's game between the Florida Panthers and the New Jersey Devils was intense. In a 4-2 victory for Jersey, sealed by an empty netter in the dying seconds, a massive scrum broke out.
In the midst of the scrum, Matthew Tkachuk went after New Jersey's young captain, Nico Hischier. It's not illegal to go after a player, but Tkachuk committed a scary hit from behind. You can watch it here:
Here are some more scenes of the massive multi-player fight that broke out:
While Tkachuk is a strong fighter, he'll need to watch his behaviour. Nobody wants a target on their back in the NHL.
