Nikita Zaitsev goes down after a hit from Noah Gregor.
Despite the accident, Gregor still answered for the hit in the following play, taking on Blackhawks player Connor Murphy in a fight.
Normally, the NHL's department of player safety will announce a hearing for the player 12-16 hours after a hit occurs to determine if there will be a suspension.
This has not occurred for Noah Gregor, and it is appearing safe to say that he will not be punished for the hit.
