Crosschecks / slashes / even jabs to the head are acceptable parts of playing rough.
Swinging your stick at head-height is never acceptable. It's stupid, dangerous and potentially career threatening.
How everyone here is focusing on the first is completely absurd.
The Athletic has a good collection of times Malkin has been a buffoon. How he's never been suspended before is amazing.
