Shattenkirk was handed a game misconduct for a hit from behind on Ryan Carter in Saturday's win over Minnesota.
Analysis:
While it remains to be seen if Shattenkirk will face any supplementary discipline, the dangerous nature of the check suggests he may be banned a few games. While it's never good to see a player ejected from a game, Shattenrirk's fantasy owners will likely appreciate the 15 PIM the blueliner collected in the process. Through 24 games this season, Shattenkirk has been one of the most reliable fantasy defensemen, collecting 18 points (two goals), to go with a plus-9 rating.
