Brewin Flames Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Howden to have Player Safety hearing for actions in Golden Knights game Forward facing discipline for illegal check to head against Tanev during win against Kraken © Zak Krill/NHLI ByNHL.com @NHLdotcom 11:50 AM Brett Howden will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Wednesday. The Vegas Golden Knights forward is facing discipline for an illegal check to the head against Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev on Tuesday. The incident occurred at 6:02 of the third period of the Golden Knights' 4-1 win at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Howden made contact with Tanev's head as the latter was set to receive a pass in the neutral zone. Howden was assessed a match penalty and a game misconduct. Tanev left the game and did not return. The penalties were upheld on an official's video review. The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 The 5 mins + game misconduct are deserved IMO. That's typically what the League wants to get rid of. But Tanev's ankle and knee took a massive and ugly twist while he was falling down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Tanev had NO clue he was coming. Head down and away from Howden ... AND ...he DID NOT have possesion of puck. Tanev get hit above the shoulder in the neck and head area as you see his head snap to the side. From the other angle .... Shoulder in head ..... Now do I believe Howden purposely went head hunting ...no I don't think so ... Tanev had his head down. However, by the very nature up the hit and the nature of the rules .... This was a head shot the league is trying to eliminate. I am absolutely OK with a 5 minute match penalty and game misconduct. I don't think Howden has any history of discipline, therefore, I suspect maybe a 1 or 2 game suspension with an appropriate monetary fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 100 percent agree on all points, not to mention this hit was completely unnecessary and avoidable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Puck was gone so this was unnecessary. 2 games max since he’s never been disciplined before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
