Near the end of the first period, Gustav Nyquist responded to a bad cross-check from Jared Spurgeon, which is understandable.

The way in which he responded, however, isn’t. It’s likely he’ll be hearing from the Department of Player Safety, and he could be out for more than a game or two.

What do you think?

Update:

Nyqvist offered in-person hearing for that slash to the face today. That's going to be a big suspension.
