The Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes faced off in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs East Final on Tuesday night. Florida had a 3-1 lead in the second period when Carolina's Andrei Svechnikov skated in front of the net and made contact with Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky's head.
No penalty was called, and plenty of people on social media thought that Svechnikov had intentionally tried to hit Bobrovsky with a knee, similar to what Florida's Sam Bennett did to Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz in the last round.
