Oh boy, this was is pretty ugly. Edmonton Oilers 2019 7th round pick Maxim Denezhkin was just handed a ten game suspension from the VHL after an illegal check from behind that left Yevgeni Bodrov seriously injured.

Bodrov was flailing around, and the impact looked eerily similar to Clayton Keller's femur-fracturing crash last season. Which leads me to suspect that Bodrov's leg is broken. No official word, though.
As for Denezhkin, ten games is a lengthy suspension. Is it enough, though?
