Sam Reinhart facing potential punishment for altercation with Jacob Trouba
Last night Florida Panther Sam Reinhart found himself in a fight with Jacob Trouba which could now lead to additional punishment for him.
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.
