Jason Demers viciously boarded Cal Clutterbuck in the second period of tonight’s game, and will likely be suspended as a result.

Demers was tossed and handed a game misconduct and boarding major. He is expected to receive a five-game suspension, as he is a repeat offender and dished out an absurdly dangerous hit.
“I think the guy that got hit has a history of diving,” Stars head coach Lindy Ruff said. “I looked at the play. I don’t think he elbowed him. And he didn’t seem to be hurt, but he sold a pretty good one to us. Maybe he deserved a minor penalty. That’s my take on it.”
