<Jason Zucker of the Arizona Coyotes is facing the consequences.

The NHL's Player Safety has dished out a three-game suspension without pay following his boarding of Nick Cousins from the Florida Panthers during their Arizona matchup on Tuesday, January 2nd.

This controversial move occurred at 19:05 in the second period, resulting in Zucker receiving a major penalty and ejection from the game due to boarding.

With an average annual salary factored in, Zucker stands to lose $82,812.51, contributing to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund as per league rules.

The suspension deals a blow to the Coyotes, and fans are eager to see how the team fares without Zucker in the upcoming games. It serves as a reminder that the NHL is committed to player safety, and actions like Zucker's come with consequences.
