The Vegas Golden Knights dominated the Florida Panthers with a resounding 7-2 victory, but the focus shifted to the physicality of the game.
Matthew Tkachuk received his second 10-minute misconduct of the Stanley Cup Finals series and was ejected for swinging his stick at a fake rat on the ice and slashing a Golden Knight.
Eric Staal was also ejected for alleged abuse of an official, although no video has been posted. Amidst the goal-scoring spectacle, the intense exchanges and ejections took center stage in this highly charged contest.
