If I am Sutter I will tell my team to play hard, play physical but be very wary of attacking anything ankle related as the refs will be on the look out. Random hacks and swings towards the feet will be called and it doesn't benefit our game.

Yup. Check him hard into the boards and do it often. It doesn't have to be a whack to the ankle to make him hurt more. Lots of good solid checks will put him off his game and maybe one of them will tweak the injury and make him more acutely aware of his ankle pain.
