Andrew Desjardins was on a professional tryout with the New York Rangers. He did not see much action — and now with this suspension, his “tryout” is likely over.
NHL Player Safety announced tonight that Desjardins was suspended for a hit to the head of New Jersey Devils forward Miles Wood. He received a match penalty in the first period of the game.
Alain Vigneault has stated earlier that a suspension would put the team in a tough spot.
