Chris Johnston on why Leon Draisaitl was not suspended for his hit on Aleksander Barkov:
"When the DoPS looked at this I don't think anybody in the room was happy with the hit. There was a little bit of elbow and obviously left his feet, in this case, Barkov missed half a period. But you look at where we are, the Stanley Cup Final. Ultimately if you want to look at how they got to no-suspension, it certainly doesn't hurt that Barkov appears to be healthy. And the standard does go up. The cost of game three of the Stanley Cup Final is pretty significant, and ultimately that has Leon Draisaitl eligible for game three."
