I'd consider that an inadvertent slew foot. It was his head hitting the ice not the defense man's arm that knocked him out. Looked kind of wreckless even though unintentional so I'd give him the slew foot which is an automatic major I believe. But I would not give him a match penalty just because I don't think the intent to injure was there because it was more his stick getting wedged behind his skates that caused it. His stick broke loose and kicked his feet out, not the defensive players foot.
Unfortunate incident but not contact straight to the head. Matheson went for the poke, stick got stuck between the stick and the leg of Igor C., and the motion created a hook effect with his harm and stick. Its when he hit the ice that his head received the damage, with the whip effect of his body in the air, thr impact was massive for his brain.
Scary scary hit. If he was a bit closer to the boards, the back of his head would have smash the top of the boards. I don't think the hit was intentional though.

Did his head hit the boards? Didn't look bad.
Offensive charging
I was at that game and I was so worried for him! It was scary
I'd say inadvertently dirty.

He elbowed him in the face it was dirty cause he was beat
MORE DAMAGE WAS DONE AFTER THE HIT AS HOW HE FELL
Wow imagine if it was on a leafplayer we never hear the end of it
It was clean. He just tossed by the bigger guy. It happens, lower man wins all the time.
Clean 🫧🪥
Not dirty just a bad accident he hit his head on the ice just a freak accident
If this was a Sharks player doing this to a Canadiens player, I guarantee you that the 911 emergency line would've been inundated with calls.

Matheson's stick lifted him off his skates, making Chernyshov hit his head on the ice causing him to be disoriented and possibly concussed

NHL for yuh
Just an awkward check. Not dirty nor interference. A lot of our sharks just love to bitch so much, they embarrass us so much
