Lightning Round: No supplemental discipline from Game Five

From Jacob Trouba’s attempted flying forearm, to the post-whistle brawl, to an alleged spitting incident, the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers gave the league and the Department of Player Safety a few things to eye over in Game Five. However, as of this morning, nothing has warranted any supplemental discipline in the way of fines or suspensions so expect everyone on the ice today.

Most notable was an attempted check by Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba on Ondrej Palat. From the angle on TV it sure looked like he was leading with his forearm/elbow before Palat ducked out of the way:

If there had been contact, chances are he would be meeting with the league office, but there isn’t much history of the DoPS doing anything in regards to attempted elbowing (granted they don’t do much with elbows that connect, either).
