Following his hearing with the NHL this afternoon, LA Kings forward Tanner Jeannot has been suspended three games for an illegal check to the head against Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser.

An official league memo via the NHL’s Department of Player Safety also stated:

The incident occurred at 10:36 of the first period [on Thursday, Nov. 7]. Jeannot was assessed a match penalty. Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, based on his average annual salary, Jeannot will forfeit $41,640.63. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

A video explanation is provided in a media player at the bottom of this article.

Without Jeannot for Saturday’s home game against Columbus and their upcoming two-game road trip, the Kings are expected to now recall Sammy Helenius from AHL Ontario, as discussed in the article linked below.
