Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele has been suspended for four games after his charge on Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans during Game 1 of their second-round series Wednesday.
With less than a minute left to go in the third period, Evans was turning the corner and tucked the puck into the empty net for a 5-3 lead, before Scheifele checked him in a defenseless position. Scheifele was assessed a five-minute major for charging, and a game misconduct.
Evans, who just came off an injury at the end of the Leafs-Canadiens series, was stretchered off the ice, and it was later announced that he had a concussion.
