Montreal Canadiens defenceman Alexei Emelin will not be getting a call from NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan after delivering a questionable elbow on Philadelphia Flyers forward Steve Downie Thursday night.
Downie, who missed two weeks in November after suffering a concussion, was shaken up after the hit and eventually helped to the locker room by medical staff. He returned for the start of the third period.
Emelin received a five-minute major for elbowing and a game misconduct in the Flyers’ 2-1 victory.
