Florida's Matthew Tkachuk has been suspended for two games for High-sticking Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick.




Tkachuk intentionally put the blade of his stick through Quick's mask sparking a melee at the end of the game with just 0.8 seconds left on the clock in the third period.



It's good to see they're taking these kinds of things seriously, given their reputation, the DoPS doesn't always act the way they should, they got this one right on my books
