Ristolainen was kicked out of Tuesday game against the Penguins for a "hit on an unsuspecting player," in this case a hit that gave Jake Guentzel a concussion, one that will likely cause the Pittsburgh forward to miss some time, The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The league's Department of Player Safety will likely want to have a word with the star defenseman. Ristolainen isn't known as a dirty player and claims he thought a puck that never made it through traffic was going to land on Guentzel's stick, thereby making him fair game. We'll see what the league has to say about it, but owners in weekly leagues may be playing short-handed for the scoring period.
