No further discipline.
St. Louis Blues forward Ryan Reaves will not be hearing from the NHL after he took out Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff with a high hit Wednesday, according to the Chicago Tribune's Chris Kuc.
Reaves was given five and a game after he clocked Ehrhoff behind Chicago's net. The league concluded the hit was hard, but legal, according to Kuc's source.
Ryan Reaves said the NHL has rescinded the game misconduct penalty for his hit last night on Christian Ehrhoff. #stlblues
