The Canadian scored a superb victory yesterday against the Vegas Golden Knights, capping a superb three-game winning streak after Christmas against league powers, namely the Panthers in Florida, the Lightning in Tampa Bay and the Golden Knights in Vegas , where everyone believed the team was going to collapse.
It was therefore a sixth victory in its last seven games for Martin St. Louis’ troops, which places it this morning just three points from a place in the playoffs thanks to its . 50, or 17-17-3 for 37 points in 37 games.
But during the meeting, one incident particularly caught attention.
During a scrum after a whistle, the attacker Cole Caufield of the Montreal Canadiens was caught in flagrante delicacy by Internet users biting his opponent, the defender Alex Pietrangelo of the Golden Knights.
Fortunately for him, the incident went unnoticed by the officials on the ice.
Now let’s see if the images make it to the offices of the NHL security department. Let us remember that the league in no way tolerates this type of gesture and that the attacker Brendan Lemieux of the Los Angeles Kings at the time had also been suspended 5 games for such an action in the past.
Fortunately, Pietrangelo was not injured and did not complain during the sequence, indicating that Caufield potentially only bit his glove. Hopefully he will receive leniency from the league on this matter.
More details will follow.
