Greer<\/a> did not go unpunished.<\/p>\n<p>Zary went into the boards headfirst and stayed down on the ice while being attended to by Calgary&#8217;s trainers. He was able to get up and skate off under his own power, but immediately headed to the locker room.<\/p>\n<p>Greer had also hooked Zary right before the hit, so he received a two-minute minor for that in addition to a five-minute major and a game misconduct for interference, which, after review, was confirmed by the officials and resulted in Greer&#8217;s ejection.<\/p>\n<p>The hit will likely be reviewed by the league. Greer has previously been suspended once by the NHL Department of Player Safety for cross-checking\u00a0in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>On the status of Zary, Huska added, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have an update. He&#8217;s moving around, he&#8217;s fine and all that stuff, but I don&#8217;t really have a real indication of what it is yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later in the final frame, a Panthers player left the game with an injury after Niko Mikkola and Ryan Strome collided in what appeared to be an accidental knee-on-knee.
