Ivan Barbashev had a hearing today on this hit which appeared to make contact with the head of Marcus Johanssen:
Unsurprisingly, if you have a hearing, chances are good that you’re getting suspended. Like Oskar Sundqvist before him, Barbashev will sit out one game of the Stanley Cup Final.
St. Louis’ Ivan Barbashev has been suspended for one game for an Illegal Check to the Head on Boston’s Marcus Johansson. https://t.co/CVEqVANQ7a

This is an unfortunate loss for the Blues.
