Montreal Canadiens rookie Juraj Slafkovsk� continues to impress for the Habs this season, however, on the play video below his impressive feat was actually against the rules.
Juraj Slafkovsky is one of the more promising rookies in the Canadiens lineup, and he progressed nicely in his development this season. He currently sits at 19 goals and 29 assists for 48 points, with one game remaining on the season. Between him, Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, the future looks bright in Montreal.
Interestingly, though, one impressive play that Slafkovsky had the other night was actually against the rules. During the play, Slafkovsky flipped his teammate a stick from off the ice, looking effortless. However, as Scouting the Refs pointed out on social media, this is actually against the rules as they are written in the NHL rulebook.
Clearly, Slafkovsky got away with one here, as he outright broke the rules. The rule is in place as a play like this could be dangerous if left unchecked, with players shooting arrant sticks around the ice to teammates.
