ANAHEIM, Calif. — Tomas Hertl escaped suspension and Dmitry Kulikov may have escaped a serious injury.
The Winnipeg Jets defenceman is listed as “possible” for tonight’s game in Anaheim, just 48 hours after he was crushed from behind by Hertl in San Jose.
The NHL department of player safety opted to take no action against the San Jose forward beyond the five-minute boarding major and game misconduct he received.
Kulikov was cut on the play in the first period and did not return.
