Mikko Rantanen Suspended One Game for Second Game Misconduct in Four Days

Dallas Stars forward Mikko Rantanen will serve an automatic one-game suspension, missing Tuesday's game against the Edmonton Oilers, after receiving his second game misconduct in four days. On November 18, Rantanen checked Alex Romanov from behind, causing a shoulder injury requiring 5-6 months recovery, yet the NHL did not impose further discipline. Days later, he repeated similar behavior against Matt Coronato, triggering the suspension under Rule 23.6 for accumulating two physical infraction game misconducts.
