A little more than the first three games, game four completely out of hand and it all revolved around Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk.
The one play that stood out was Tkachuk's cross check to the lower back of Garnet Hathaway, who was down in visible pain for an extended amount of time afterward.
Tkachuk was given a two-minute minor for cross checking and the Bruins made him pay with a power play goal.
Player Safety Makes Decision
Now, Player Safety has made their decision on Florida's top forward:
Florida's Matthew Tkachuk has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for Cross-checking against Boston's Garnet Hathaway.
