Neal Pionk in concussion protocol after Spezza hit

Defenceman Neal Pionk will miss atleast the next two games after falling and taking a knee to the head by Leafs Forward Jason Spezza. Spezza is having an in-person hearing for the hit and is expected to be suspended for 5+ games, but no suspension has been issued yet.

#NHLJets HC Paul Maurice says he will start Dillon-Stanley together. Also says D Neal Pionk is in concussion protocol and won't travel on the two-game road trip. Jets likely to recall a D-man but not sure who that player will be yet.— Ken Wiebe (@WiebesWorld) December 7, 2021
