The game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers was extremely long. Why? It took 3 overtime periods to find a winner, as Evgeni Malkin scored the game winning goal for Pittsburgh.

But one thing that has retained the attention is the enormous hit from Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren to Penguins forward Rickard Rakell. The former was assessed a 5 minute major penalty for charging, but the referees finally decided to give him a minor.
When we watch the replay, we can see that the majority of the contact is to the head. Is a suspension incoming?
