BREAKING: The NHL Punishes Brenden Dillon with Massive Suspension

Today the NHL has officially handed out the punishment to Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon for his hit on Penguins forward Noel Acciari.

Brenden Dillon's hearing comes after a play from last night's game where he violently hit Noel Acciari into the boards.

Dillon was ejected from the game and will now face further discipline. He had a meeting with the Department of Player Safety earlier today to discuss his punishment.

I've confirmed that #NHLJets defenceman Brenden Dillon will have a phone hearing today with the department of player safety for his match penalty last night against Pittsburgh. That would mean any suspension can't exceed five games. We'll see what league decides.

As a result, the Winnipeg Jets will be without Dillon for the next couple of games. They will need some of their depth defensemen to step up and fill the void left by him in the lineup.
