It was initially reported that Lee was unlikely to receive any supplemental discipline for the hit.
Heard earlier today from league that there was no further discipline coming for Anders Lee as of noon. Would say now it's certain. #Isles

Well, here is a video of the incident below, you be the judge.
Given the leagues recent track record with incidents similar to this, I expect Lee to be suspended for a game or two. Although, I am not sure that is fair because after watching it a few times I am not convinced that Lee's intention on the play was to hit him in the manner that he did.
