Watched a couple times and it would seem intentional on Mitchkov… but I think he was trying to give him a one handed slash on the arm but he was backing up and got his head instead. No excuse to be sure. Should have been more of a penalty and I expect a fine from the league. The funny part about this is that Byfield might get traded to the Flyers in the near future to be Center for Mitchkov lol. I could see where Mitchkov is like "OHHHH CRAP! Sorry bro! Please don't tell mom! You're fine! you're fine! don't tell mom ok!? You're fine!"
That Michkov and Byfields incident was a missed call by the referees five minutes should have been assessed to Michkov for the stick swing looks like the referees need more training in their field of work no referee raised their hand to signify penalty looks like they need to decide by using the Rock Paper scissor method as to who will make the call.
No idea how this isn't a suspension. I'm assuming the only reason they only fined him was no history (duh) and he didn't cause any injury. Imagine he injuries Byfield there. How many games does he get? 5?

Michkov is new Matthew Tkachuk ? 😂😂😂
Byfield is the man! Go Byfield! Rooting for you to have a breakout career year!
PHI VS. LA?
What worthless refs. Embarrass them for a missed call and get punished.
Michkov gotta watch it. Clearly he did apologize
Thats the only way for LA to get an honest PP. The way this team embellishes every little glove tap and stick lift. LA are the masters of the dive.
Good shit Mitch don’t let them bully you 💪🏽🦁⚔️
Michkov’s English must be good enough to chirp! I love him sticking up for himself but the stick swing to the head was too much.
Roughing on Byfield 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not a kings fan by any means but that's a joke
Major. he intended to slash. Not the head, but he intended it to make contact. He's responsible for his stick and that was reckless.
Swinging your stick at a players head and you take both guys?? That should be reviewed for a fine at least.
not let get fool ppl, this no real… it a NHL 25 footage and we know AI ref suck.
should have been a major, and a suspension
Bettman really wants a no check -no touching league.
Replay would be nice
Magic man michkov!! Rookie of the year!!!
why is getting off with 2 mins. he purposely slashed a guy in the head. WTF is up with the NHL
In Russia, the stick swings you
I love that Michkov refuses to take sh*t.
