Michael Rasmussen Suspended Two Games

October 28, 2022 at 3:45 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

3:45 PM: The NHL’s Department of Player Safety has now announced that Rasmussen will be suspended for two games for high-sticking Krejci. This means that he will be first eligible to return to the ice on November 3rd, when the Red Wings take on the Washington Capitals.

8:48 AM: The Detroit Red Wings might be missing one of their big forwards for a little while, as Michael Rasmussen will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety today. The meeting stems from a collision between the Red Wings forward and Boston Bruins forward David Krejci, where Rasmussen’s stick came down on the side of Krejci’s head.

He received a two-minute minor for high-sticking, while Krejci left the game in considerable pain. It seemed as though the injury was caused by the hit (and potentially a butt-end delivered on contact), not by the follow-through, but the league may take it into account anyway. Krejci did not return to the game.

Rasmussen, 23, is off to a very nice start for the Red Wings, recording five points in seven games. The 6’6″ forward has started to figure out how best to use his size at the NHL level and is delivering far more checks than he did as a youngster. While he is important, he also only plays around 14 minutes a game and can be replaced if given a short suspension.

    So you have a collision and high sticking and you have to visit the Department of Player Safety. Gordie Howe would have said KISS MY REDWINGS ASS.

      A butt end to the ribs will do that these days.

    The chop onto Krejci’s collar bone with the stick was bad. Intentional or not, he did a two-handed chop downward onto the shoulder/head area, should miss a few games for that.
