According to a report from NHL insider Renaud Lavoie, there will be no hearing and therefore no supplemental discipline for New York Rangers forward Alexis Lafrenière after Lafrenière took a run at Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final.
Hedman left the game after the hit, but returned in the third period.
Alexis Lafreniere better have his head on a swivel after this head shot on Victor Hedman. Dirty, dirty hit on one of Tampa's big dogs pic.twitter.com/KBMIH7PgK1— Joe Haggerty (@HackswithHaggs) June 12, 2022
There was definitely head contact and it looks fairly intentional, so it comes to a bit of a surprise that there is not atleast a one-game suspension for Lafreniere.
No hearing (so no suspension) for Alexis Lafrenière. The @NYRangers forward hit Victor Hedman hard during last game. Hedman left but came back in the third.— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) June 13, 2022
Alexis Lafrenière n'aura pas d'audience et ne sera donc pas suspendu suite à son geste à l'endroit de Victor Herman dans le dernier match de la série @NYRangers @TBLightning @TVASports— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) June 13, 2022
