However, the game's narrative shifted towards the physicality and penalties that took center stage. Matthew Tkachuk, representing the Panthers, found himself ejected from the game after receiving his second 10-minute misconduct of the Stanley Cup Finals series.
Tkachuk's actions involved swinging his stick at a fake rat on the ice, as well as delivering a slashing motion towards a Golden Knights player, contributing to the chaos and disruption on the ice.
In addition to Tkachuk's dismissal, Eric Staal of the Panthers also faced ejection for "abuse of an official," although no video evidence has emerged at this time. The game, aside from the goal-scoring spectacle, was marked by intense exchanges and player dismissals, generating an electrifying and highly charged atmosphere.
