The first reaction many had to Nikita Zadorov’s crushing hit on Stuart Skinner Tuesday night was dismay. And understandably so, as years ago something like that would’ve resulted in a full-on melee.

Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner left Tuesday’s game in Boston late in the first period after a hard collision with Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov, then was back on the ice for the start of the second.

The Edmonton Oilers had a dominant 4-0 win over the Boston Bruins, but if there was one stain on an otherwise perfect game, it was the lack of response after Zadorov's hit on Stuart Skinner.
