The author, Bill Price, presents a factual account of the game and its events without making any direct logical fallacies. However, there are some indirect fallacies present in the form of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric. The appeal to authority can be seen in the quotes from various players regarding the hit on Barkov, particularly Draisaitl's defense of his play. Inflammatory rhetoric is used when describing the Panthers' response after seeing Barkov get injured, with phrases like 'rallied', 'did what they had to do to win the game', and 'found a way'. These phrases may not be direct fallacies, but they contribute to an overall tone of drama and sensationalism.

The article contains an example of an appeal to authority. Michael Russo, the author of the article, states that George Parros, the head of the NHL's Department of Player Safety, was in attendance and it'll be interesting to see if he hits Draisaitl with supplemental discipline. This implies that Parros has a role in determining potential disciplinary action for the hit on Barkov but does not directly state his opinion on the matter.
