Roope 'Roope from Dallas Stars leaves game 2 early after the slash by Edmonton Oilers' darnell nurse

The striker of Dalla's Stars Roope Hintz left the second game on Friday in the third period and did not return after he was dragged by Edmonton Oiler's defender Darnell Nurse.

The nurse seemed to catch Hintz on his lower left leg in front of the Oilers network. He was unable to put his leg huge and asked for help to climb from the ice and immediately went down the tunnel after leaving the playing area. He did not return after leaving when the Oilers won 3-0 for the best-of-Seven series in one game each.

The piece was checked for a possible great punishment, but nurse was only rated as a minor in the play.

“I will answer your question with a question,” said Stars coach Pete Deboer after the game when he was asked about the slash.

“Does anyone in this room believe that Connor McDavid is worn by the ice that it is not a five -minute major? This is my answer to your question.”

As the TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger emphasizes, according to rule 61.3, due to an injury occurring in the piece, a great punishment would have been called.

Hintz played 12:08 before leaving and scored three shots.

Game 3 will go in Edmonton on Sunday afternoon.
