PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins forward Brandon Tanev was assessed a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct after the referees determined he was guilty of an egregious hit.
About three-quarters of the way through the second period, Tanev hit Jarred Tinordi on the Bruins about 5-6 feet from the boards in front of the Boston bench. Tinordi then hit the boards with his back and his head before lying on the ice.
