BREAKING: Golden Knights Forward Suspended For Vicious Hit

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden has been suspended for his hit on Brandon Tanev.

Last night in the middle of the third period, Brett Howden laid a brutal hit on Brandon Tanev that resulted in a 5 minute major call from the refs.

Today, NHL Player Safety met with Howden to have a hearing about this hit and has now reached a verdict on his punishment.

Howden will now miss some game time for this hit but it is almost certain that Tanev will miss even more.
