Report: Tkachuk avoids supplemental discipline for slew foot on Marincin
Tom Szczerbowski / USA Today Sports
Matthew Tkachuk appears to have gotten away with a last-second slew foot Monday against Martin Marincin of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
There's no supplemental discipline expected as a result of the incident, nor from a Leo Komarov hit on Johnny Gaudreau earlier in the game, reports Chris Johnston of Sportsnet.
The Calgary Flames rookie forward committed the act as the final buzzer sounded:
Tkachuk was involved in a similar incident involving Edmonton's Brandon Davidson in October, and was also suspended two OHL games last year for slew footing.
The talented Tkachuk ranks second in the NHL with 92 penalty minutes this season.
