Matthew Tkachuk may face suspension for cheap shot on Connor McDavid

Matthew Tkachuk is one win away from his first Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers, but there is a chance he will be watching from the press box.

While the prevailing story from last night's game between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers was Edmonton's dominant performance, winning 8 to win, along with Connor McDavid's 4 point game, something else is starting to catch attention.

During last night's game, in a scrum by the net, Matthew Tkachuk sent several cheap punches into Connor McDavid's head, which may be cause for a suspension.

While the Florida Panthers are up 3 to 1 in their series, Matthew Tkachuk being in the lineup is massive, and there is now a chance that his recklessness will keep him out.

This is why nobody respects this clown!

Connor McDavid was luckily undeterred, and ended up finishing the night by breaking a legendary Wayne Gretzky record.

McDavid's assist is his 32nd of the playoffs, breaking Wayne Gretzky's record.

Didn't think I'd ever see this one broken

Do you think Matthew Tkachuk should be suspended for this dirty decision?
