Flames' Milan Lucic not expected to receive supplementary discipline for colliding with Oilers G Mike Smith

When Calgary Flames forward Milan Lucic received a match penalty last night for colliding with Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith, it came with an automatic review from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. It appears as though there will be nothing more to come from the incident, as Emily Kaplan of ESPN tweets that there will not be supplementary discipline from the league.

The 15 minutes of penalties that Lucic was officially credited with were nearly twice as many as he actually played Sunday night, as the veteran forward has been pushed down into a very limited role so far in the series. In three games, he has yet to record a shot on net against his former team and now has racked up 21 penalty minutes in the second-round series.

Smith, meanwhile, was forced from the game by concussion spotters but returned a few minutes later to wild applause from the Rogers Place crowd. The Oilers managed to win the game and take a 2-1 series lead, with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evander Kane once again leading the way offensively.

Some fans will remember another collision between Lucic and a goaltender that did not result in a suspension, though the two incidents came in very different on-ice situations.

The two teams will be back at it Thursday night.
