The NHL Player Safety just announced a lengthy suspension for Bruins rivals enforcer Ryan Reaves after his hit on Darnel Nurse.

Earlier today It was confirmed that Ryan Reaves was going to have a hearing today after his hit on Darnel Nurse, and he would more then likely be suspended.

Early Sunday morning NHL Player Safety announced that Reaves was set to have a hearing for his hit yesterday on Darnel Nurse.

Due to Reaves being given a five minute penalty, it results in an automatic hearing from the league.

Many believed that Reaves should face a big suspension due to the severity of the hit on Nurse, but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

During the opening minutes of the second period between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers Reaves threw a nasty headshot hit on Nurse, and it was clear that he targeted the head.

Nurse was going around the net with the puck when Reaves threw a hit making all contact with his head.

Nurse tried to get back to his feet but clearly looked dazed, you could istantly see the damage done as he had a massive cut on his face leaking blood.

After watching the hit again you can see Nurse clearly hits his head off the ice hard, and this probably resulted in him cutting his face open.

Many fans have been vocal about this hit on social media, and this may play a part in how many games Reaves ends up getting.

A official report will be made later, stay tuned for further details.

The NHL Player Safety did not take this hit lightly, and Bruins rivals member is going to have to pay for his hit.

NHL Player Safety revealed that the enforcer is going to be suspended for five games.

Toronto's Ryan Reaves has been suspended for five games for an illegal check to the head against Edmonton's Darnell Nurse.

 

For Darnel Nurses sake, hopefully he is okay and recovering well from this hit which looked really bad.
