No Suspension for Staal

TSN reports that Jordan Staal received no supplementary discipline today after he was assessed a match penalty for a sucker-punch on Brandon Prust last night.

The league decided that no further action will be taken regarding the incident. An automatic one-game suspension applies when a player is given a match penalty, but the league chose to rescind the ban.

...to be honest I'm fine with him not being suspended. The Rangers got the benefit last night in the form of a five minute penalty (which they scored on) and a suspension for tonight's game against the Islanders really doesn't effect the Blueshirts either way.
