Ridly Greig facing possible suspension after upper cut sucker punch on Sean Walker
This afternoon, Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Grieg has been called out for a dirty sucker punch on Sean Walker that many believe should lead to a suspension.
The Carolina Hurricanes are looking to close out their first round series against the Ottawa Senators today with a big win.

Mid way through the second period a brawl broke out between the two teams with every player being paired up in a shoving match.
At one point, Senators forward Ridly Greig comes up to Warren Foegele and Sean Walker who are tangled in a wrestling match.
Immediately Greig takes a shot at Walker punching him square in the face in a cowardly move.
During the second intermission, NHL analyst and former tough guy Paul Bissonnette called for Greig to be suspended for 5 games as a result of his actions.
While it seems Greig’s season could be on the verge of ending, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety will likely still conduct a hearing regarding punishment.
If the Senators are eliminated, Greig could be forced to serve a multi-game suspension heading into next season.
After the game, all eyes will be on Greig as he will have to explain his actions and then wait to see if George Parros and the Department of Player Safety inflict punishment upon him.
As the situation continues to play out, we will bring all of the latest details on potential punishment for Greig.
