Cale Makar Concussion Returns

And the NHL did nothing to punish two hits to his head

News: Jared Bednar said on his Altitude radio show this morning that superstar Cale Makar is back in concussion protocol and will NOT be available for either Avalanche game this weekend, when the team resumes play.

Views: Well, this ain’t good. Not at all. Makar has taken two hits to the head in the last few weeks and had to miss time from each. And yet, not only did the NHL NOT impose any supplemental discipline from either hit, there was never even a penalty assessed.

Way to go, NHL Department of Player Safety.
