The Edmonton Oilers had their playoff dreams on the line being down 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals vs the Colorado Avalanche in Mknday night's game 4 in Edmonton.
With the score tied 1-1 in the second period Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog would nail Oilers Zach Kassian with a clear hit from behind that should definitely be looked at by the NHL department of player safety.
Kassian went to play the puck by the boards when he was plasterd into the boards by Landeskog. Kassian would try to get him some of Landeskog who went down awkwardly boards also and looked like he took the worst of it despite throwing the hit.
Landeskog was given a two minute penalty for holding on the play. He did not play the remainder of the second period and could be injured.
Landeskog would join his team for limited shifts as the Avalanche would battle back to sweep the Oilers 6-5 in overtime and move on to the Stanley cup final.
