During Tuesday night's game against the Vegas Golden Knights, Nikita Zadorov hit Brett Howden from behind into the boards and was ejected from the contest after being handed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for boarding.
Many were wondering if there would be any supplemental discipline for Nikita Zadorov, which would've been his second suspension in as many months following his two-game ban back in February for a check to the head of Lucas Raymond. But now, we have our answer.
The 28-year-old has been a solid addition to the Canucks' blue line and has played a big role in recent weeks in the team's top-four. In 47 games for the Canucks, Zadorov has 12 points (five goals, seven assists), 94 penalty minutes and is a plus-seven.
