NHL rescinds Brandon Dubinsky's match penalty
Brandon Dubinsky - C - Columbus Blue Jackets
April 19, 2013 - 1:20 PM ET
The NHL has decided to rescind the match penalty Brandon Dubinsky received at the end of Thursday's game.
That means Dubinsky's suspension has also been lifted. The Blue Jackets and Kings players on the ice traded blows following the game. Dubinsky was probably initially given the match penalty because he appeared to punch Kings defenseman Drew Doughty as Doughty attempted to skate away. However, it's worth noting that Doughty initially chose to engage Dubinsky when Dubinsky was focused on other players.
