The cross check occurred late in the second period. He delivered the check to the arm of Jets forward Mathieu Perreault, knocking him out of the game.
Carcillo is considered a repeat offender. He has been suspended eight times and fined three other times during his NHL career. The hit will cost him $40,243.92 in salary. He’s already served one game of the suspension and has decided not to appeal the decision.
The NHL released a video explaining the decision.
