Alexis Lafrenière out to start next season with the Rangers?

In tonight's game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Rangers, Quebec's Alexis Lafreniere made a dangerous contact to the head of Victor Hedman.

A hit that made a lot of people react and that, according to many experts, could prevent Lafreniere to start the next season at the same time as his Rangers teammates.

As reported by Elliotte Friedman (Sportsnet), it is expected that Lafreniere will be suspended and therefore, his suspension would apply here at the beginning of the next regular season.
