Fun fact, Andersson wasn't given credit for a hit on the play...?

I've found the hit and block tracking has been pretty wonky in the bubble. Tkachuk had that sequence against Winnipeg in Game 4 where he crushed Ehlers behind the net and then blocked the shot (giving him the bloody lip), before safely clearing the puck. He wasn't credited with the hit or block on the play.
Jamie Benn is really lucky the league has eliminated old school predatory hitting. Because the dude would have been gone from the series if it was in 06 and Phaneuf was on the blueline.

I do appreciate the increased player safety, but wow do a lot of players play dangerously and will their heads down in the neutral zone now.
