Former Bruin May Face A Suspension After A Dirty Hit
Former Boston Bruins defenseman Connor Clifton, now with the Buffalo Sabres, may find himself in hot water after a recent on-ice incident.
Clifton was assessed a five-minute major penalty for a hit to the head of New Jersey Devils forward Nico Hischier.
The hit has drawn significant attention for its dangerous nature, and there is speculation that Clifton could face a suspension as a result. The NHL's Department of Player Safety will likely review the play to determine if further disciplinary action is warranted.
Clifton's status and potential consequences will be closely watched by fans and the hockey community.
