There will be no supplemental discipline coming in the aftermath of a chippy Game 1 between the Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets.
Both teams had a player involved, as Caps winger Tom Wilson charged Alexander Wennberg, while Blue Jackets forward Josh Anderson caught Michal Kempny with a hit from behind.
Both plays resulted in penalties - minor for Wilson and a major for Anderson - but neither will be suspended for their actions, reports Isabelle Kurshudyan of The Washington Post.
Meanwhile, Wennberg was ruled doubtful for Game 2, and Kempny is day-to-day.
The club's next square off Sunday, with the Blue Jackets holding a 1-0 series lead.
