Yesterday, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety (DoPS), suspended Winnipeg Jets centre Mark Scheifele after a vicious and dangerous hit on Montreal Canadiens centre Jake Evans.
On the ice, the call was a five-minute major penalty for charging and a game misconduct.
Scheifele had a hearing with the DoPS on the phone, and a few hours later, they released the video explaining he was suspended for charging for four games.
