Matthew Tkachuk is one of most disliked players by fans in the NHL, unless he plays on your team of course.

Since he was drafted in 2016, Tkachuk has made a name for himself as one of the biggest �'pests'' in the league.

He's attempted, and successfully completed, some dirty plays over his seven seasons. Including Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets.

After taking a somewhat high reverse hit from Brendan Dillon, it appears that Tkachuk catches the Jets defenseman with a spear in the mid section. (See below)

Whether Dillon embellished it or not, that's a dangerous play from a repeat offender. There's been way worse spears before but should he be hearing from Player Safety?

Tkachuk was given a two-minute minor for slashing on the play.
