Breaking News - NHL Hands Out Punishment to Josh Anderson After Disgusting Hit
The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-6 at home on Saturday night. Forwards Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki put on a show, which was the game's highlight, but another non-highlight is now trending, and a lengthy punishment may be given down.
