During Tuesday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere dealt a heavy blow to the back of former teammate Mark Friedman.
The cross check sent Friedman flying into the boards after he clinched the 7-3 win over the Flyers with an empty-net goal. It’s not the best look.
Gostisbehere to have hearing for this crosscheck on Friedman last night after EN goal.
Would expect 1-2 games. https://t.co/BIJyV4SLfj pic.twitter.com/3pwyBPUf7G— NHL Safety Watch (@NHLSafetyWatch) May 5, 2021After a hearing on Wednesday, it was announced that the defenseman will be suspended for two games.
