Sharks' Patrick Marleau WIll Not Be Suspended for Hit on Bryan Rust



Last night, in the third period of game one, San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau's was given a two-minute minor penalty for an illegal check to the head on Penguins forward Bryan Rust. Following the hit, hockey fans took to Twitter to discuss the hit. Rust briefly returned to the game, before leaving  the game to go to the quite room. Rust is listed at day-to-day.

I think this is the right call by the NHL's Department of Players Safety. I don't think that Marleau was intentionally trying to injure rust.
