Minnesota Wild defenseman Carson Soucy will receive a call from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety today, to determine any extra punishment for his dangerous hit on Arizona Coyotes forward Conor Garland.
During the first period of Tuesday night’s 3-0 win over the Coyotes, Soucy was served a five-minute major for charging, after crushing the undersized winger against the boards.
Minnesota managed to heroically kill off the entire five-minute Coyotes powerplay, for which Soucy is grateful for.
“It goes by really slow when you’re sitting in there all by yourself and these guys are grinding out there,” Soucy said of the perfect penalty killers.
