Zach Hyman suspended two games for hit on Charlie McAvoy

After delivering a brutal hit on Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy, Toronto's Zach Hyman has been suspended for two games. 

McAvoy was playing in his second game back from a concussion, making the hit a touchy subject for the Bruins. 

Bruce Cassidy called it, "late and unnecessary" given the hit happened late in the third period of a 6-3 win by the Bruins. 

Fortunately for the Bruins, McAvoy did not miss any time. He was listed as an active participant for the Bruins' matchup with the Senators Sunday. 

Hyman made a dirty play, and now he will pay the consequences.
