Pietrangelo brutally slashes Draisaitl and McDavid rushes to his defence

Alex Pietrangelo is trending in the aftermath of Game 4 of the Vegas Golden Knights’ second round series against the Edmonton Oilers and that’s not because he led his club to a victory.

In the last minutes of the third frame, as Vegas trailed behind 4-1 in a game dominated by Edmonton, Pietrangelo attacked

Leon Draisaitl with a late two-handed slash that got him ejected from the game.

Before he went down the tunnel however he was met by captain Connor McDavid who came to Draisaitl’s defense and almost got in a fist fight with the Golden Knights’ defenseman.

It’s all here.

There is a sense that Pietrangelo will get a call from the NHL player safety department… It remains to be seen if he will be fined or suspended ahead of Game 5 back in Vegas.
