Overview
- McMann will sit out Toronto’s home game Thursday against the San Jose Sharks and is eligible to return Saturday versus the Edmonton Oilers.
- He will forfeit $7,031.25 in salary to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund as part of the suspension.
- The incident stemmed from a third-period scrum after Gage Goncalves was penalized for kneeing Dakota Mermis, and McMann was given a match penalty and ejected.
- The Department of Player Safety cited McMann’s lack of prior supplemental discipline as a factor in limiting the ban to one game.
- Bjorkstrand played shifts after the play and was back for Tampa Bay’s next game, and Goncalves had not been referred for a supplemental hearing as of the latest reports.
