Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang was suspended two games without pay for his hit on Winnipeg Jets forward Alex Burmistrov against the boards in the second period of Monday night's game in Winnipeg.
NHL Senior VP of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan created this video showing Letang's illegal check and explaining the NHL's decision. Shanahan also mentioned that the NHL took into consideration the fact that Letang was fined in April 2011 for a similar hit.
