Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher has received a 5-game suspension for a vicious elbow to the head of New York Islanders' Adam Pelech. Despite the severity of the incident, Gallagher's clean record likely contributed to the relatively lenient punishment, as he had not previously received a suspension in his 700+ NHL games.
Assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis, who appeared to elbow Liverpool's Andy Robertson during their Premier League draw with Arsenal, will not be appointed for future matches until an investigation is complete, according to the referees body. The FA will launch an investigation into the incident. Robertson was booked for dissent by referee Paul Tierney as the players walked off the Anfield pitch and down the tunnel at half-time. Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher said the PGMOL would speak to the relevant parties to understand what happened.
