After the game, Hakstol didn't mince words, calling Pospisil's actions "garbage" and criticizing him for not answering for his behavior.
"Garbage. But really not whole lot different than the first hit 6-7 seconds into the game. You gonna run around like that, you probably need to answer when somebody comes at you man-to-man and that didn't happen either."
As of now, it's uncertain if Pospisil will face further disciplinary action for his hit on Dunn. Despite the controversy, the Seattle Kraken emerged victorious with a 4-2 win.
