A brutal hit from Matthew Tkachuk sent Knights forward Jack Eichel to the dressing room
Eichel was skating out of his own zone when Tkachuk made a hard shoulder-to-shoulder hit near the line that knocked Eichel onto his back and also sent his helmet flying.
Eichel, who assisted on a goal by Jonathan Marchessault in the first period, got up and immediately skated to the locker room while grimacing in pain.
The assist was Eichel’s 15th in the 2023 postseason, the top total among all players. Eichel also has six goals in 19 playoff games this year after he logged 27 goals and 39 assists in 67 regular-season games.
But the Knights didn’t let the loss halt their crusade as they continued to put the Panthers on ice.
