NHL concludes look into water bottle incident between Kadri, Binnington

The Kadri-Binnington water-bottle incident has been closed, as far as the NHL in concerned. St. Louis Blues' goaltender Jordan Binnington was knocked out of game three following a collision in his net that included his own player Calle Rosen, and Nazem Kadri of the Colorado Avalanche. It has since been announced Binnington will miss the remainder of the series. While Kadri was doing a post-game interview, he mentioned that Binnington threw a water bottle at him.

The league said it was looking into the incident to see if a fine or other punishment was warranted. According to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic, the NHL won't be handing out any supplemental discipline.

I don't know if this means the league doesn't believe Binnington did it, or just doesn't think it's worthy of further action if he did. It doesn't really seem like something that would be out of Binnington's wheelhouse. The guy loves to agitate, and he has a temper.
