"The Neutral Zone" Suspension Report
Columbus Blue Jackets' forward Brandon Dubinsky has been suspended for one game by the NHL's Player Safety for checking Sidney Crosby's neck during a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"I'm OK," Crosby said after the game. "There's always concern when it happens. Honestly, I haven't seen it so I don't know how it looked. I know how it felt. I don't know if the official saw it or not."
Dubinsky and Crosby have had a long-running feud and battled ferociously in the first round of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Dubinsky said battling Crosby was merely part of his job.
"There's no secret. I try to play him as hard as I can," he said after the game. "That being said, I don't do anything dirty. I felt my stick ride up his back a little bit. He was kind of bent over in front but that's not the type of player I am. I'm going to try and play hard but play fair and between the whistles."
The Blue Jackets won the game 2-1.
