BREAKING: NHL Hands Out Suspension After Vicious Cross Check to The Face

Check out how Penguins winger Jake Guentzel's gave some additional taps on Sabres goaltender Craig Anderson, which sparked a reaction in Jeff Skinner to earn him a five-minute misconduct penalty and a ban from the NHL Player Safety Committee below:

Jeff Skinner of Buffalo has been given a three-game suspension for cross-checking Jake Guentzel of Pittsburgh.

Each stick infraction, like the one with Jeff Skinner, seems to result in a different length of suspension, or even a fine, like Kirill Kaprizov received just over a month ago for viciously high sticking LA Kings Drew Doughty. It appears that NHL player safety continues to spin the wheel, or flip a coin, when deciding punishments.
