The New York Rangers faced off against the Florida Panthers last night for game 5 of the ECF, throughout the entire series both teams have been playing aggressive and multiple dirty plays have been going unnoticed by the referees.
However, during the second period Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola runs straight into Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin, and of course after that everyone got heated and an intense scrum broke out.
What makes the situation frustrating is that the Rangers were already on the power play during this moment, and after the officials got things settled they refused to give the Rangers a 5-3 advantage, as they handed out penalties to both teams.
