Coyotes Forward Likely Facing Major Suspension for Dirty Hit
The NHL Player Safety Department will likely review an incident that occured in last night's game between the Arizona Coyotes and the Florida Panthers.
Dirty Hit From Behing By Zucker on Cousins
At the end of the second period, Nick Cousins gave a violent hit on Juuso Valimaki. Jason Zucker retaliated with an even dirtier hit.
Zucker hit Cousins in the back, long after he had gotten rid of the puck.
Cousins fell face first onto the boards and stayed there, while his teammate Gustav Forsling dropped the gloves against Zucker.
Check out the following video to see the incident:
Zucker was ejected from the game.
Suspension Incoming for Zucker?
What Zucker did represents exactly what the NHL wants to condemn. This kind of incident is easily avoidable and is extremely dangerous.
The NHL Player Safety Department will review the incident and we should have a new development to report during the day, as a verdict is expected soon.
How long do you think Zucker will be suspended?
