Halfway through the period of the Bruins vs. Lightning game on Sunday night, Zac Rinaldo checked Cedric Paquette in a pretty questionable manner. The NHL has announced today that he will be suspended for five games as a result of this hit:
"Rinaldo steps down from his defensive position and delivers a high hit, making the head the main point of contact, on a hit where such head contact is avoidable...while we accept Rinaldo's argument that he is attempting to deliver a legal, full-body check on this play, Rinaldo mistimes this hit, leading to him taking an angle of approach that makes Paquette's head the main point of contact.
