Columnist Dejan Kovacevic highlighted that under NHL rules, Trouba's actions could warrant a match penalty, which is determined by intent rather than outcome.
Per NHL rules: 'A match penalty shall be imposed on any player who deliberately attempts to injure or who deliberately injures an opponent in any manner.'
Not a minor or major. A match penalty. It's actually DEFINED by INTENT, not outcome.
