6 years agoSan Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton was suspended by the NHL Player Safety board on Monday for his hit to the head of Vegas Golden Knights forward Tomas Nosek in Game 2. Jumbo will miss one game, sitting for Game 4 in Vegas on Tuesday night.

The Player Safety group was busy on Monday, as Toronto's Nazem Kadri was also handed a suspension after his in-person hearing.--Daniel Dobish
