After the game Sutter said concussion protocol
NHL better look at that.
Also someone #10 tried to elbow Toffili in the head but missed.
The Kopitar one better get a look at by the league

Reaves fined for “roughing” Kopitar; no status update yet

Yeah, that was a real "inadvertent" elbow. His elbow just happened to come up right as Kopitar was looping around him, what a quinkydink.

At any rate, Kopitar is fine and sounds like expected to play: Kopitar “fine;” Sutter didn’t object to hits

I hope the Kings remember this though and retaliate next game against the Blues. Maybe an "inadvertent" check on Tarasenko would be in order.
