Being the Captain of an original six team - he will get nothing. The fawning NYC media will have his back. He is one of the cleanest players in the NHL! MAYBE he gets one game - but he injured that guy on a play that was uncalled for. I am sure he 'accidentally" hit him just like he 'accidentally' swung his stick at that Bruins player
