The Montreal Canadiens gritty forward appears to have dodged a bullet.

There were many who believed that Andrew Shaw would be suspended following his slew-foot on Buffalo Sabre Johan Larsson, both because it occurred very late in the game, but also because it was clearly a blatant act.

However according to a report from Mike Halford of NBC Sports the National Hockey League Department's of Player Safety has made the decision to issue no supplemental discipline, but there's little doubt that this will cause some controversy.

Here's a look at the play.
