CALGARY, Alberta — The Rangers were off on Thursday and still added to their league lead — in apologies received — in the fallout from Wednesday’s loss to the Canucks.
Brendan Lemieux will not face supplemental discipline for his alleged hit to the head major penalty and game misconduct, which was later changed to a match penalty — opening the door to a suspension, though the Rangers did not believe it warranted a penalty at all, much less an ejection.
Lemieux won’t get the call rescinded as Mika Zibanejad did last week in Dallas for his game misconduct — because match penalties do not accumulate — though it hardly would have softened the blow from getting tossed from the game at 9:45 of the second period.
