Gryba was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jackets after laying an illegal check on Artem Anisimov. He was assessed a 10-minute match penalty for deliberate injury and 10-minute game misconduct penalty.

Analysis:

The hit resulted in Anisimov leaving the game with what was labeled an "upper-body injury," and will more than likely earn him a call from the league office. Gryba's history as a ruffian on the ice will do him no favors in attempt to avoid a suspension, as the blueliner was previously docked two games in the 2013 playoffs for a cheap shot on Montreal's Lars Eller. Gryba has no points and has amassed 30 penalty minutes in eight games this season.
