The scrum after the hit was sufficient “hockey code” payback. It wasn’t even that hard or malicious of a hit.

if a player is deemed guilty of an instigator in the final five minutes or in overtime, he "shall" be suspended for one game,
Exactly like another poster said, he doesn’t kill penalties, he came off the bench just to attack Monahan. I don’t know how the refs can get away without calling the rules the way they are.
