Ottawa Senators forward Austin Watson will not be punished by the NHL after a hit on Rangers forward Tyler Motte during Thursday night’s game, as reported by Greg Wyshynski.
Watson received a major penalty and a game misconduct for the hit during Ottawa’s 5-3 win. The Ottawa forward did receive a fine for $4,000 back in December for a hit on Dylan Larkin in December.
The Rangers return to the ice on Saturday for a matinee against the Boston Bruins. Puck drop is set for 1 p.m.
