Update: Peluso got a three game suspension. Read more and watch the NHL explanation here.
Those watching the 2nd period of the Jets 6-4 loss to the Stars saw Anthony Peluso hit Alex Goligoski from behind which resulted in a five minute major penalty and a game misconduct.

Bob McKenzie of TSN answered this question via twitter;
WPG’s Anthony Peluso has a noon ET phone hearing with NHL.

Personally I think he will receive two games. What do you think? Is this suspension worthy? Should it be just a fine? Both? Neither? Sound off!
