The captain of the Ottawa Senators appears not to follow this guideline, as he delivered a forceful hit on Stars' player Miro Heiskanen after the whistle.
Tkachuk Levels Heiskanen with a Hit After the Whistle:
In spite of Tkachuk's contentious performance, the Stars emerged victorious with a 5-4 win. Tkachuk managed one assist, while Heiskanen netted the equalizing goal during the third period.
Shortly after, within a minute, Matt Duchene secured the game-winning goal.
This underscores that success in the NHL requires more than just physical prowess. The Stars united as a team after the actions of the Senators' captain and ultimately clinched the triumph.
