According to multiple reports, the NHL has decided not to discipline Max Pacioretty for his hit on Ryan McDonagh last night.

Renaud Lavoie tweets “Hearing that Marc Bergevin did a great job to protect his player.”

McDonagh did not return to the game after the hit in the second period last night.

John Tortorella was NOT HAPPY with the hat.

League consistently appears more invested in protecting perps rather than victims. Kind of pathetic. But so was NYR lack of response on Sat.—
