Kings’ Tanner Jeannot suspended three games for illegal check

Kings left wing Tanner Jeannot chases after the puck during a game against the Nashville Predators on Nov. 4. Kings forward Tanner Jeannot was suspended three games Friday for an illegal check to the head of Vancouver’s Brock Boeser. Jeannot was given a match penalty and ejected from the teams’ game Thursday night in L.A. for the right-shoulder-to-head hit that injured Boeser. “If Jeannot wants to deliver this check, he must stay low and take an angle that hits through Boeser’s shoulder and core, rather than one that makes the head the main point of contact.” Jeannot will miss the Kings’ upcoming games against Columbus, Calgary and Colorado and forfeits $41,641 in salary.
