In hockey, there exists an unspoken guideline that players should refrain from completing their checks after the whistle blows.
The captain of the Ottawa Senators appears not to follow this guideline, as he delivered a forceful hit on Stars' player Miro Heiskanen after the whistle.
Tkachuk Levels Heiskanen with a Hit After the Whistle:
In spite of Tkachuk's contentious performance, the Stars emerged victorious with a 5-4 win. Tkachuk managed one assist, while Heiskanen netted the equalizing goal during the third period.
Shortly after, within a minute, Matt Duchene secured the game-winning goal.
This underscores that success in the NHL requires more than just physical prowess. The Stars united as a team after the actions of the Senators' captain and ultimately clinched the triumph.
