Boston may have thumped the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, but the Bruins may suffer a blow to their offense if Milan Lucic is suspended.
At 16:21 of the second period, Lucic drilled Flyers forward Zac Rinaldo into the boards and was given a five-minute major for checking from behind and a game misconduct.
The incident could lead to a hearing with NHL discipline czar Brendan Shanahan and a possible suspension.
The league office is well acquainted with Lucic and that could work against the power forward. Most recently, he ran over Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller. Lucic did not receive a suspension for the hit on Miller, which caused uproar around the league.
