NHL Hands Out Major Punishment After Nasty Cross-Check To The Face
Avalanche forward Ross Colton faced the consequences of his actions last night when he was fined $5,000 for cross-checking New Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier during the game. Colton's actions resulted in a five-minute major penalty and ejection from the game, with a game misconduct.
The incident didn't stop there, as Colton was also handed a two-minute penalty for boarding Luke Hughes during the same game. The double infraction marred what should have been an intense matchup between the Avalanche and the Devils.
These in-game penalties and ejection serve as a reminder of the NHL's commitment to player safety and the prevention of dangerous plays on the ice. Colton's wallet is a little lighter, and it's a lesson for all players about the consequences of reckless actions during games.
