The NHL's Department of Player Safety has decided that Jeff Skinner of the Buffalo Sabes will sit for the next three games following a crosscheck to the face on Jake Guentzel of the Pittsburgh Penguins. It happened Friday night after Guentzel made some light contact with Pittsburgh's netminder. In its decision, DoPS stated it was important to note that this wasn't an accident in any way.

"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," said the video ruling.
Here is video of the hit, followed by the full ruling from Player Safety.
