Robert Bortuzzo could be suspended for his hit that knocked New Jersey Devils forward Jaromir Jagr out of Tuesday's game.
The Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman crushed Jagr behind Pittsburgh's net with a hit that appeared to be both late and high. Bortuzzo escaped punishment from on-ice officials, but he might not be so lucky with the NHL Department of Player Safety.
Bortuzzo is averaging 14:19 time on ice - sixth among Penguins defensemen - with minimal special teams involvement in nine appearances this season. Jagr leaves the Devils in points with 15.
