I don't know if he has any previous disciplinary history, but if not, that will also play a factor.
Andersson was treated harshly because of the timing of the hit and the resulting injury. I don't think they'll hit Mangiapane as harshly because those weren't factors in this situation.
My guess is 2 games (which likely means it will be 3).

Crosscheck to the back of the neck while the player was stomach down on the ice.
I'd be surprised if it was as few as two games. This isn't a play that can be tolerated in the NHL.
