True, but sometimes actions don't require further discipline then already imposed. He did get a double minor penalty, which is meant to encourage what you said.
I don't like how the NHL uses injuries to determine suspensions here, but in this case I think it would be appropriate. Ultimately no moderate injury occurred and he served four minutes in the box. I think enough punishment has been served.
