UPDATE: Buffalo Sabres second-leading scorer Jeff Skinner has been suspended for cross-checking Pittsburgh's Jake Guentzel in the face.
."Skinner initiates an altercation here that ends with him aggressively and purposefully striking an opponent in the face with his stick with sufficient force to merit supplemental discipline."
Skinner, then with the Carolina Hurricanes, had received a two-game suspension in 2012 for kicking an opponent. He will forfeit $145,945.95 for Friday's infraction. Both players received slashing minors and Skinner got a match penalty. The Penguins' Jeff Carter scored a power play goal in overtime while the penalty was being served.Upon review, Jamie Oleksiak assessed a match penalty for this hit on Alexander Alexeyev.
You can talk about intent or Oleksiak's height, but bottom line is this kind of hit can't be in the game. Major is the correct call.
