Overview
- Rantanen received a five-minute major and a game misconduct late in the second period for a hit from behind on Matt Coronato.
- Coronato left bleeding with a significant facial cut, received stitches, and returned early in the third period.
- Calgary’s Jonathan Huberdeau fought Rantanen after the hit and was assessed an instigator minor, a fighting major, and a misconduct.
- The Flames beat Dallas 3-2 in a shootout, and Coronato had scored earlier in the game.
- The ejection follows a Nov. 18 boarding major and game misconduct on the Islanders’ Alexander Romanov that drew no supplemental discipline, and Rantanen was also fined this week for embellishment.
