US EditionPanthers lose Eetu Luostarinen to game misconduct penalty after boarding Carolina's Jackson Blake
- Eetu Luostarinen of the Florida Panthers was assessed a major boarding penalty and an automatic game misconduct early in the opening period of the third matchup in the Eastern Conference finals held in Sunrise, Florida.
- Luostarinen lost control of the puck while chasing it deep in the zone with Carolina's Jackson Blake, and their momentum caused Luostarinen to drive Blake’s head into the boards.
- Officials called a five-minute major for boarding on Luostarinen, upheld after video review as per NHL Rule 41.5, which automatically triggers a game misconduct penalty.
- Luostarinen entered Game 3 tied for the Panthers’ team lead with 13 points, including 4 goals and 9 assists, while Blake remained on the ice about a minute before leaving for evaluation and returned in the second period.
- Luostarinen’s ejection left Florida short-handed early in the game, which they led 1-0 in the series, and Blake’s ability to return suggests limited immediate injury impact.
