Stars Forward Mikko Rantanen Gets Automatic 1-Game Suspension over 2nd Ejection in 3 Games
Mikko Rantanen received an automatic one-game suspension after two boarding game misconduct penalties in three games, leading the NHL with 57 penalty minutes, the league confirmed.
- On Nov. 22, Dallas Stars forward Mikko Rantanen was suspended one game after being ejected for boarding for the second time in three games, receiving a five-minute major and game misconduct for a hit on Calgary Flames forward Matt Coronato.
- Under NHL rule 23.6, an automatic suspension applies when a player incurs two game misconduct penalties in the Physical Infractions Category without 41 games passing between them, increasing by one game for each subsequent penalty.
- Rantanen also received a boarding major on Nov. 18 for pushing New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov into the boards, leading to Romanov's placement on injured reserve and expected shoulder surgery.
- A Department of Player Safety review will sideline Rantanen for Tuesday in Edmonton, and the suspension was announced without a hearing since longer suspensions require one.
- Earlier this month Mikko Rantanen, Dallas Stars forward, was fined $2,000 for embellishment and now leads the team with 57 penalty minutes.
