Andersson catches Laine with a hit in the dying seconds of the game.

Now, the NHL Department of Player Safety has reached a verdict on Andersson's punishment.

Calgary's Rasmus Andersson has been suspended for four games for Charging Columbus' Patrik Laine.

The suspension seems fair given the context of the hit but there will certainly be Blue Jackets fans who want Andersson suspended longer.
