Versteeg Awaits Suspension News

From TSN:
The Chicago Blackhawks are awaiting word from the NHL on whether rookie forward Kris Versteeg will be suspended for one game and head coach Joel Quenneville fined $10,000 for Versteeg being assessed an instigator penalty in the final seconds of last night’s 7-1 win over Phoenix.
NHL rules call for an automatic one-game suspension for the player and a $10,000 fine to his coach for any player who instigates a fight in the final five minutes of a game, but the league reviews each one case-by-case and, in some instances, rescinds the suspension and fine.
Update 3:52pm ET: From TSN, Versteeg suspended one game and Quenneville fined $10,000.

Gotta say, I laughed pretty hard when I saw Versteeg with 27 PIM on the score sheet. Especially after having been down 16-32 on minutes in my head-to-head league for the week going into Sunday. That’s one hell of a comeback.
