Andersson Hits Laine: Suspended For His Actions
In the final seconds of last night's game between the Blue Jackets and the Flames, Swedish defenseman Rasmus Andersson laid a scary hit on Patrik Laine which was completely unnecessary.

Andersson catches Laine with a hit in the dying seconds of the game.
As a result of this, Andersson got a 5-minute major for elbowing and has now received supplementary discipline from the NHL.
Calgary's Rasmus Andersson has been suspended for four games for Charging Columbus' Patrik Laine.
While it is a solid suspension, it is certainly less time than what Laine will miss, which is currently unknown but given how it is a head injury, it will be at least a couple of weeks.
