Player Safety hands out punishment for two players from Thursday night
The NHL's Player Safety Department was somewhat busy this morning, as they had two separate incidents to look over.
First, was a sucker punch by Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev on Canucks forward Conor Garland.
Player Safety announced Sergachev's punishment this afternoon:
�'Tampa Bay's Mikhail Sergachev has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for Roughing Vancouver's Conor Garland.''
The second play happened between the Arizona Coyotes and Ottawa Senators when Clayton Keller caught Erik Brannstrom with a high cross check.
Keller was given the same discipline as Sergachev for completely different levels of dangerous plays.
''Arizona's Clayton Keller has been fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for Cross-checking Ottawa's Erik Brannstrom.''
