Not really. The rule specifically mentions that coming onto the ice for a regular line change is okay - so long as the player does not get involved in an altercation. Bee-lining it to a fight was always going to get him tossed. But it will probably save him from the automatic 10 game suspension. Though he may get some fewer games. Bissonnette got three games last year for a similar action.
