Should James Neal be suspended for hit on Giordano?

Watch as James Neal loses his cool and hits Mark Giordano with a headshot while on his way to the bench.

Nashville Predators James Neal should expect a call from the NHL Department of Player Safety on Wednesday.

Early in the second period of Tuesday’s game with the Calgary Flames, defenceman Mark Giordano tried to put the puck through his legs after receiving a pass inside his own zone but as he attempted to make the move, he was immediately drilled to the head by Neal at full speed.

Neal received a minor penalty for the headshot.
