Bans for Booth and Pestunov
As a result, forwards Booth and Pestunov have each been handed a major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes) and a suspension. Booth was found guilty of checking to the head and neck area, for which he receives a one-game ban. Pestunov, who was punished for checking a player not in possession of the puck, earns an identical punishment, but receives an additional mandatory one-game suspension for picking up his second 20-minute penalty of the season. Dmitry Pestunov is therefore banned for two games.
