Video: Panthers furious after Abdelkader ‘cheap shot’ hit on Barkov | ProHockeyTalk
I don't think it was a cheap shot. It definitely wasn't dirty. Obviously, I hope Aleksander Barkov is okay too. I don't think Justin Abdelkader should be suspended, but I wouldn't be shocked if he did though. Barkov isn't playing tonight, so that could be factored into any decision. Barkov had his head down on the hit and there is some head contact. We'll see what the department of player safety ends up saying. You can vote below and voice your thoughts in the comments.
