Andersson catches Laine with a hit in the dying seconds of the game.
Andersson was given a major penalty for elbowing and had a hearing with NHL Player Safety today.
Here was his verdict:
Calgary's Rasmus Andersson has been suspended for four games for Charging Columbus' Patrik Laine.
For a penalty as egregious as this, this seems like a fair suspension. However, Laine will probably miss more time than this suspension raising the question of if the suspension is long enough.
