The incident occurred during the third period of Wednesday's contest between the two clubs and saw Sobotka assessed a double-minor.
The Blackhawks would take advantage, scoring twice on the extended power play. However, the Blues skated to a 5-2 win and jumped into first place in the Central Division.
