Fortunately for Brennan Othmann, he won’t spend the first off day of New York Rangers training camp sitting in a hearing with NHL Department of Player Safety.
The League isn’t considering supplemental discipline for the 22-year-old forward after he was assessed a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman Calen Addison in the head during a preseason game Sunday.
The incident occurred at 16:37 of the third period. Addison had his head down, playing the puck along the extended goal line near the corner in New Jersey’s end of the ice. Rangers forward Taylor Raddysh was right behind him.
