The two forwards would check one another after a whistle. From here, the two began exchanging words, which led Buchnevich to deliver the dirty headbutt.

The NHL had another headbutting situation earlier this week. Rasmus Andersson of the Calgary Flames would do the same thing to Edmonton forward Kailer Yamamoto after a whistle. In response to his actions, the 24-year-old defenseman received a $5,000 fine, but no suspension.

When looking at Buchnevich's headbutt, will he receive the same fate? Or will he be suspended? You decide. Whatever happens with this, NHL players just need to stop with the headbutting.
