Igor Shesterkin and Matthew Tkachuk throw hands in game 5 of Panthers-Rangers
Igor Shesterkin and Matthew Tkachuk threw some punches during game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals last night.
It was a pretty tight and close checking game as it was tied 1-1 for the majority of the game, but ultimately the Panthers would steal the show beating the Rangers 3-2, and will now take a 3-2 series lead back to Florida for game 6.
Matthew Tkachuk is known for being able to get under peoples skin, and surprisingly he got under Shesterkin's skin last night. Shesterkin is know for having a calm demeanour, but Tkachuk found a way to get under his skin as well last night.
Shesterkin does have a reputation of diving, and that was put on display last night after he felt a little bit of contact from a Panthers player.
Matthew Tkachuk would end up getting under Shesterkin's skin so much that he finally had enough and started to throw hands with Tkachuk.
The Panthers will look to close out the series on Saturday on home ice and book their ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals.
