Throughout the entire game things were chippy between both teams, however things reached a boiling point as Trouba shoved Reinhart and one thing led to another.
No initial penalties were handing out as the game headed into overtime. But now Sam Reinhart could be facing a fine or even suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety for his actions.
With that being said, the referees need to do a better job making calls for both teams as they head into game 5 on Thursday, May 30th at 8:00pm.
