Kucherov avoids discipline by NHL player safety after dirty hit
Last night's game between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning showcased the ongoing frustration with George Parros's leadership at the NHL Department of Player Safety.
Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov's hit on Montreal's Kaiden Guhle drew attention for its dangerous nature.
Kucherov sees numbers here the entire way. Garbage hit and no call from the refs.
Despite Kucherov's leading role in the league's scoring, his hit from behind went unpunished.
Not expecting any supplementary discipline for Nikita Kucherov.
The lack of penalty was perplexing, but the absence of further discipline raises even more concerns.
This incident highlights the inconsistency in player safety enforcement, particularly when it involves top-tier players like Kucherov.
