Jake Dotchin of the Syracuse Crunch has been suspended for three games for his dirty hit behind the play on Frederik Gauthier of the Toronto Marlies.
With Syracuse leading two games to none, Dotchin will miss Games 3 and 4 of the teams’ North Division Finals playoff series tonight (May 9) and Wednesday (May 10), as well as either Game 5 of the series on Saturday (May 13) or Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
We know a leg gets you less than a head. But the extenuating circumstances here are interesting.
