NHL Department Of Player Safety Suspends Pavel Buchnevich For Two Games

October 19, 2021 at 7:11 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 12 Comments

The NHL Department of Player Safety announced Tuesday night that St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich has been suspended two games for a headbutt to the Arizona Coyotes’ Lawson Crouse.

Per TSN’s Chris Johnston, Buchnevich is considered a repeat offender and forfeits $141,463.41 in salary over the course of the two-game suspension.

Buchnevich holds that repeat offender status due to a one-game suspension handed out in May 2021 for high-sticking Anthony Mantha of the Washington Capitals. It occurred during the New York Rangers’ first match against the Washington Capitals after the now infamous Tom Wilson incident, which Buchnevich was notably a victim of when Wilson delivered a punch to the head of Buchnevich while he was down on the ice.

The Blues have gotten good scoring distribution from throughout their lineup, and they’ll attempt to continue that in the absence of Buchnevich. Look for Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours, two up-and-coming young wingers, to get more ice time with this hole in the lineup.

    So since the emphasis this year is on cross checking….the guy who cross checked him in the face gets 2 minutes and that’s it?

      Two cross checks 4 minutes. Main point of contact the head should be a major or match penalty

    The past few seasons there have been a couple points of emphasis. One is hits to the head and the other which started this year was cross checking. Not saying at all he was right but at the same time both should have been punished by more than a minor penalty

      The point is that there is an entire department dedicated to ruling such incidents for the sake of “player safety” which doesnt tolerate “headbutts” that dont cause injuries but is totally fine with players beheaded on faceoffs and getting major injury. Just ask Larkin and now Pinto

      Seems as if player safety can only pick one side or the other depending on which is worse and not punish both

    What a joke. Andersson gets nothing for the same offense. NHL “justice” is random, and largely based on the team and nationality of the player.

    My draft is tonight- I need to draft 2 of these 4 players: Panarin, Marchand, Marner or Makar who should I take?

      Probably Panarin and someone (leaning towards Marner) but I want to hear your thoughts
