But the sequence that caught the attention during this meeting was when Noel Acciari of the Penguins made a borderline check against Juraj Slafkoxsky at the very end of the third period.
This type of body checking occurs more and more in the NHL and many wonder why league leaders are not more severe towards such actions, including the players themselves.
As reported by the site Danslescoulisses.com, the Canadien's number 20 was extremely disappointed with the NHL's decision not to have sanctioned the Penguins player for his action against him.
He also expressed his frustration with this after his team's training on Monday, as you can see via the clip below.
He said the league should have reviewed Saturday's incident, even though he acknowledged he put himself in a vulnerable situation. He later compared the sequence to the one where Oliver Ekman-Larsson checked Jake Guentzel, of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and who received a $5,000 fine a few days ago.
The good news in all this is that Slafkovsky did not suffer a concussion during the sequence and will be at his post this evening to face the Calgary Flames at the Bell Centre.
