The NHL's department of player safety suspended Calgary Flames forward John Beecher and Winnipeg Jets defenceman Logan Stanley one game each Sunday for separate roughing incidents. The bare-knuckle punch occurred moments after McCarron dropped his gloves and began swinging on Beecher as a scrum ensued near the Flames bench. Beecher, 24, received a roughing minor and a 10-minute misconduct at the time. The 27-year-old Stanley was assessed a roughing minor and an illegal equipment minor while Tkachuk, who was furious after receiving the blow, was given a 10-minute misconduct. Beecher has played 155 games, while Stanley has suited up in 242.
