The incident caused Mantha to leave the game and he has now been placed on Injured Reserve with what is being called an upper-body injury.
Following the injury, there has been speculation that Muzzin would end up being suspended by the NHL, but according to Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill, the league has looked at the play in question and they have decided not to take action.
