The illegal hit came in the second period of the Jets 4-2 loss on Friday in the second game of the NHL Global Series. Lemieux clipped Trocheck, who had just passed the puck, in the head as he skated past the centerman. Panthers defenseman MacKenzie Weegar then went after Lemieux in defense of his teammate. Lemieux received a match penalty for the hit and therefore, a game misconduct. The match penalty which is imposed on any player who deliberately attempts to injure or who deliberately injures an opponent in any manner, also comes with an indefinite suspension pending commissioner review, according to TSN’s Frank Seravalli....

Jets general manager Joe Douglas has been a very busy man since taking the job in June 2019: With his first official draft and offseason coming in 2020, Douglas’ stamp has yet to really be made on the team. With a treasure trove of picks in 2021, Douglas’ plan is in place: While the Jets have been short on victories over the last two seasons, the hiring of Robert Saleh in 2021 and the selection of Zach Wilson mean the three pillars of NFL franchise building — GM, HC, QB — are now firmly in place....

Sometimes, she said, the baby is left in the stroller alone outside with a baby monitor while the parent runs errands or goes into a café.
