The NHL Department of Player Safety could hand out more discipline after a wild cross-checking sequence in Tuesday’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues.
....."Edmonton forward Jujhar Khaira will have a hearing for cross-checking the Blues’ Vince Dunn, while Dunn was fined $1,942.20, the maximum allowed, for cross-checking Khaira."....
...not a surprise, but Dunn was playing pretty dirty, too....I'm looking at this through my blue and orange tinted glasses, but I think a fine would be sufficient....Kharia is not a normally dirty player....physical, yes - but not dirtry....
edit to add details of suspension....

...."Edmonton Oilers forward Jujhar Khaira has been suspended two games for cross-checking St. Louis Blues defenceman Vince Dunn during Tuesday night's 4-1 loss, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced."....
....too severe for a first time offender IMHO....
