Ryan Reaves was ejected from the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Edmonton Oilers game after delivering a dangerous shoulder check to Darnell Nurse, resulting in a five-minute match penalty.
Darnell Nurse was assisted off the ice after the hit, and the Oilers quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the game due to an upper-body injury.
Reaves has a history of suspensions and was in the midst of his 16th game with the Maple Leafs, having recorded one assist and a hefty number of hits.
This incident reignites discussions about player safety in the NHL, especially in light of Reaves's prior suspensions for similar offenses.
