Tonight Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves is once again under fire for a dirty hit he laid on Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse that led to an ejection. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers have come together tonight in a battle of two of the most talented teams in the NHL. While many expected superstar players like Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl, and William Nylander to control the story of the night that has not been the case. In the second period of the matchup Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves was ejected for a check to the head of Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1857956794800218404'> </a></blockquote></div> The hit seen below sent Darnell Nurse flying down to the ice and dislodging his helmet as Ryan Reaves stood over him. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1857956894414885353'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1857956996525228470'> </a></blockquote></div> These types of hits are something that has become a commonplace type of thing for Ryan Reaves over the years. Now it seems like it is universally agreed that Ryan Reaves will face a major suspension from the NHL's Department of Player Safety. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jesseblake/status/1857957512684687502'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/leafsnews/status/1857958070543859763'> </a></blockquote></div> Ryan Reaves has been a fringe player in the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup all season and his inability to play within the rules could lead him to be a consistent scratch once he serves his likely suspension. According to an update, Darnell Nurse did suffer a significant upper-body injury that will prevent him from returning to tonight's game. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1857960057058505099'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1857960180853649786'> </a></blockquote></div> After the game's final horn blows it will be interesting to hear from both teams and get their reactions to what was clearly a dirty hit.
