Stamkos may face serious suspension from incident in Game 6
Despite that the season is now over, NHL Player Safety may still have some issues to review.
During the second period of game six, Ryan McDonagh hit Darren Helm from behind, which was immediately called.
However, after the whistle, Steven Stamkos, who is usually calm and collected, turned and shot the puck in the direction of official Gord Dwyer.
It wasn't the only thing the Lightning did that was a little overboard last night. Here's Sportsnet's breakdown of the incidents:
40.4 Automatic Suspension � Category III:
�'Any player who, by his actions, physically demeans an official or physically threatens an official by (but not limited to) throwing a stick or any other piece of equipment or object at or in the general direction of an official, shooting the puck at or in the general direction of an official, spitting at or in the general direction of an official, or who deliberately applies physical force to an official solely for the purpose of getting free of such an official during or immediately following an altercation shall be suspended for not less than three (3) games.''
Will Stamkos receive supplemental discipline?
