Following a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety, Kings' Tanner Jeannot is being suspended for his very dirty hit on Canucks' Brock Boeser.

Tanner Jeannot probably knew he was going to be in some kind of trouble following the on-ice incident that occurred recently, and now the NHL Department of Player Safety has weighed in with some serious authority. Jeannot has been handed a serious three game suspension for a high hit on Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser.

It wasn't until nine minutes into the first period that Jeannot caught Boeser with a high, direct hit to the chin. Boeser did not return to the game after that hit, which was quickly becoming a focal point of the matchup. The hit was widely condemned as one of the most reckless moves of the 2024-25 NHL season, and as a result, Jeannot immediately received a match penalty, which triggered an automatic review by the league.

The Department of Player Safety, following review, suspended Jeannot, currently playing with the Los Angeles Kings. A match penalty constitutes an immediate indefinite suspension pending further review and a finalizing of any additional disciplinary actions by the NHL.

As was to be expected, the call did not catch the fans or analysts off guard since the hit was not based on any justifiable premise. The league has come down hard on plays that put players at a high level of risk, and Jeannot's actions clearly fell into this category, given Boeser's health.

For now, there was no official word on Boeser's condition or any estimate on how much time he may miss. He was pretty shaken while leaving the ice, and it's now up to the Los Angeles Kings to regroup and make some sort of adjustment for games going forward.
