The NHL safety committee has given Alexandre Burrows a 3 game suspension for his hit to the head of Alexei Emelin. The hit happened in the second period and almost directly led to the opening goal by Nick Bonino. Emelin coughed up the puck at his blueline then the hit came from Burrows. Emelin went down and it led to a two on one with Bonino scoring the goal on a nice pass from Dorsett. Emelin was in an awkward position so it wasn't easy for Burrows to check Emelin cleanly but the only point of contact was the head so that was the main reason why the suspension was handed down.
