Ryan Reaves Suspended For Five Games
14 seconds agoToronto Maple Leafs right wing Ryan Reaves has been suspended for five games for an illegal check to the head of Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse. Reaves delivered a big hit with his shoulder to Nurse's head in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win, which forced Nurse to exit the game with an upper-body injury. Reaves was ejected from the game following the incident. The veteran enforcer received his fourth career suspension. He will be eligible to return to the lineup on Dec. 4 versus Nashville. Reaves added 15 penalty minutes to his tally on Saturday and now has 23 penalty minutes for the season through 16 games. He has also recorded 44 hits.
