Vegas Golden Knights forward Ryan Reaves is once again in trouble for a reckless and dangerous incident he was at the center of.
In the middle of a Game 1 in which the Knights lost 7-1 to the Avalanche, Reaves punched Colorado defenseman Ryan Graves in the back of the head and took him down seemingly by his neck.
That ignited a brawl and a Reaves was given a match penalty, which could lead to a long suspension, especially when you consider he was suspended for Game 1 of last year’s Western Conference final for a brutal hit to the head of Tyler Motte. He also checked Ryan Suter from behind into the goal post in the Knights’ last series against the Minnesota Wild.

That led to a nine-minute power play for the Avalanche, who scored once.
