Kucherov avoids discipline by NHL player safety after dirty hit

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.

The lack of penalty was perplexing, but the absence of further discipline raises even more concerns.
