Watch: Kucherov avoids penalty after landing high hit on Vatanen

Another night, another questionable hit in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Tampa Bay Lightning and New Jersey Devils continued the trend on Wednesday night, as Nikita Kucherov caught defenseman Sami Vatanen with a high hit in the first period of Game 4.

Here's a look at the play.

Kucherov wasn't assessed a penalty on the play, while Vatanen immediately left the ice and was later diagnosed with an upper-body injury.

The collision was awfully similar to the one that landed Los Angeles Kings blue-liner Drew Doughty a one-game suspension earlier in the playoffs.

It will be interesting to see whether Kucherov will receive similar treatment from the Department of Player Safety.
