BREAKING: Vancouver Canucks Defenseman Suspended After Dirty Hit

The Vancouver Canucks were in Detroit this afternoon for an early tilt on Saturday. The Red Wings ended up winning 4-3 in overtime thanks to a Jake Walman winner late in OT, by a shootout attempt. During the game, a Canucks defenceman layed a huge hit on promising Wings forward and now has been suspended.

During the game, Nikita Zadorov gave Lucas Raymond an illegal check to the head, something that has been happening far too much recently.

The NHL Player Safety Association has decided after the hearing that the Vancouver Canucks defenceman Nikita Zadorov has been suspended for 2 games.
