I'd give 5 and game. He thought about Trouba'ing him, but appears to have held up slightly. And McKinnon does a little leg kick action to make sure it was seen. Still a penalty, but I've seen far worse this year.
What I dont understand is why they keep doing this to each other. There seems to be so little respect for other player's safety. Perhaps handing out big suspensions is the only way to get this out of the game.
What was Chatfield complaining about? MacKinnon didn't even turn his back to him at the last second. He had all day NOT to board him and just decided to anyway.

This is clearly boarding. The contact with the boards is quite dangerous and this has to be a major penalty and a game misconduct .

I've seen worse not get called. Should be a Penalty or 5 and a game
I love how he was already complaining about the penalty before he finished boarding MacKinnon
