SUNRISE | Matthew Tkachuk had been careful to warn his rivals that they should make sure to play with their heads held high if they didn’t want him to reserve the same fate for them as Jack Eichel.

The Panthers forward was ultimately a victim of his own medicine. During the first period of Game 3 of the Finals between the Panthers and the Golden Knights, Tkachuk was hit hard by Keegan Kolesar.

A check, distributed near the blue line, which strangely resembled that served to Eichel in the second game.

Tkachuk staggered before retreating to the bench. Despite his doubtful condition, he made his next appearance, on the massive attack, before being sent to the locker room. He joined his teammates in the opening moments of the second period, returning to his regular spot in the lineup.

Another miracle of medicine or another proof that the concussion protocol has its shortcomings.

The irony is that it was the same Tkachuk who scored the tying goal, with just over two minutes to go in the third period.
