The Canadiens game against the Panthers was wild, losing 9-5. Captain Nick Suzuki wouldn't end the night off easy, however.
Suzuki Given Game Misconduct
Tensions were high after a first period that combined for ten goals between the two teams.
With frustration setting in, Habs Captain Nick Suzuki couldn't hold himself back, and cross-checked young centre Anton Lundell near the Panthers bench.
Suzuki was awarded a game misconduct, much to the chagrin of fans.
Jonathan Kovacevic equally got a game misconduct in the scrum.
Suzuki spoke after the game:
#Habs Nick Suzuki on his ejection: "I got him on the top of the helmet, it wasn't under his visor. He kinda took a weird run at me, I gave him a shot, a little scrum...I don't think I did anything that bad - probably the refs just trying to control the game & call a penalty
This is definitely disappointing behaviour from captain Suzuki, but in the heat of the crazy game, its hard to blame him for losing his cool.
