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.

Here is the Department of Player Safety video:

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

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. 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.
