In a gripping match between the Philadelphia Flyers and the former Stanley Cup champions, the Vegas Golden Knights, tensions rose as the clock ticked down with just 10 minutes remaining in the second period.
Chandler Stephenson of the Vegas Golden Knights found himself in the spotlight after receiving a five-minute major and a game misconduct penalty. This led to Stephenson being ejected from the game, providing the Flyers with a golden opportunity—a five-minute power-play.
Despite the advantage, the Flyers, unfortunately, couldn't capitalize on the power-play. However, the focus shifted to a more concerning incident involving Garnet Hathaway of the Philadelphia Flyers. Hathaway endured a questionable cross-check from Chandler Stephenson during the five-minute major endgame misconduct.
This incident has raised eyebrows not only among fans but also within the NHL player safety discussions. Many voices are calling for a thorough review, contemplating the possibility of a suspension for Stephenson. As the game unfolds, the aftermath of this intense matchup will undoubtedly be a topic of conversation among hockey enthusiasts and the broader NHL community.
