The National Hockey League issued a one-game suspension to Florida Panthers forward Eric Selleck on Wednesday.
Selleck was hit with the ban after it was judged that he left the bench on a legal line change in order to start a fight with Carolina's Kevin Westgarth late in the third period of Tuesday's 4-1 Panthers victory.
The 25-year-old winger was given a minor for instigation, major for fighting and a game misconduct, and will forfeit $5,945.94 in salary while he sits.
Jonathan Quick saved his best save for the final minute, sliding deftly across his crease and snagging Joe Pavelski's shot from point-blank range to the grateful gasps of the Los Angeles Kings' sellout crowd.
Patrick Kane is paid to shoot and pass the puck, not deliver hits. Still, at some point during the postseason, there had to be at least one instance when the Blackhawks winger ran into an opponent.
Jonathan Toews barked at officials from the penalty box, venting his frustration during an almost-surreal string of three penalties called against the Blackhawks captain in a span of 5 minutes, 34 seconds.
