Abdelkader may face a suspension after a hit from behind on Tampa's Jason Garrison who left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury.
Analysis:
Abdelkader did get a boarding minor on the play, but other offenders have also gotten multi-game suspensions for similar hits on players in vulnerable positions. Abdelkader will be hoping the NHL sees things differently than in those other cases - his goal Saturday extended his current streak to four games and six points, including four goals (one in each game).
