Department of Player Safety hands Mark Scheifele four game suspension for hit on Evans

Earlier this morning we learned that Jets centre Mark Scheifele would have a phone hearing with the Department of Player Safety for his charge on the Habs Jake Evans late in game 1.

The ref tossed Scheifele for the game handing him a five minute major and a game misconduct.

Today the man up the middle for Winnipeg learned that he will sit out for the next four games.

Lots of comments on our Instagram on the hit and consequences.  Share your thoughts here.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
