Sam Reinhart facing potential punishment for altercation with Jacob Trouba

The Florida Panthers came into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals in need of a win. At the end of the third period with the game tied tempers flared leading Sam Reinhart to punch Jacob Trouba in the face.

Florida Panthers fans flooded the replies to this tweet to point out that New York Rangers Jacob Trouba just seconds before this clip hit Sam Reinhart dirty. This is what likely prompted the punch from Sam Reinhart.

After the punch, both players were sent on their way to the locker room and not penalized. However, there is some speculation that Sam Reinhart could face a fine for his actions. A fine will be well worth the win he was able to provide the Florida Panthers after scoring an overtime goal.

Heading into Game 5 the series is now tied at 2. Over the last two games, the physicality has picked up a ton within the Eastern Conference Finals. Now with the fate of each team's season on the line, the fireworks could reach an even higher level in Game 5.
