Good news for the Calgary Flames. Word out of the league office – first reported by ESPN’s Emily Kaplan – is that Flames forward Milan Lucic won’t face any supplemental discipline for a hit on Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith in the third period of Game 3.
Lucic was levied a major penalty and a game misconduct on the play. Following the game, Flames head coach Darryl Sutter seemed to understand the logic behind tossing Lucic from the game, stating “It’s the score and who it was. That’s what they call.”
Since Smith suffered no injuries on the play and finished the game, aside from a brief concussion evaluation, likely the most Lucic would receive would be a fine. But evidently Player Safety felt the major and game misconduct was enough punishment.
Game 4 is Tuesday night in Edmonton. The Oilers lead the series 2-1.
