WOW: Dirty play from Matthew Tkachuk, suspicious call on the ice

The Panthers and Matthew Tkachuk were in Winnipeg last night as part of their Pacific division road trip.

Tkachuk is known across the NHL to be a pain to play against because of his grit, his physicality and his overall skills. He's also been known, his brother is no-exception, to sometimes go over the limits.

In Winnipeg last night, he was loyal to his reputation. He had an encounter with Brendon Dillon in the corner and he allowed himself to dart the Jets' defenseman. Here's the clip:

The winger was only awarded a two-minute slashing penalty, but it's been raising questions all-around the NHL as to whether or not it should've been a 5-minute misconduct.

Good thing he was traded to an Eastern conference team, we won't get to see him much in the future.
