Last night, during the match between the Canadiens and the Lightning at the Bell Centre, Nikita Kucherov delivered a vicious hit from behind on Kaiden Guhle.

"For me, it's clear: there should have been a penalty on Kucherov for the hit on Guhle.

He saw Guhle's number 21 from the first to the last second.

I would add that I didn't necessarily appreciate the fact that no CH player reproached him." - Anthony Martineau, TVA Sports

«I mean, it's not like Guhle turned at the last second there. He was facing the glass the whole way. In fact, it's when he was turning to get back to sideways that Kucherov turned him back towards the glass and finished his hit. That's boarding...." - Eric Engels, Sportsnet

In short, it's an announcement many are awaiting, and we will be closely monitoring the official account of the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

And in your opinion, does Nikita Kucherov deserve a penalty for his hit on Kaiden Guhle? Will the NHL dare to penalize him?
