Calgary’s Brandon Bollig won’t face any disciplinary hearing for his hit on St. Louis defenseman Barret Jackman Thursday night, an NHL spokesman has confirmed.
Here’s the incident in question. Bollig was given a five-minute boarding major and game misconduct:
Jackman left the game momentarily but did return, and finished with over 17 minutes of ice time.
The Department of Player Safety opted not to further punish Bollig despite his history as a repeat offender; during last year’s playoffs, he was suspended two games for boarding Minnesota Wild defenseman Keith Ballard.
