Orr Levels Cullen

Colton Orr crushed Matt Cullen in the second period of last night’s Canes at Rangers game. Mike Commodore immediately dropped the gloves with Orr after the hit.

Cullen did not return to the game.  Luke DeCock of The News & Observer reports that Cullen has a broken nose, and possible concussion.

Orr received an interference major and game misconduct to go along with the fighting major.  While the penalty doesn’t require a review from the league, it’s likely they’ll take a look at the hit.  Normally I’d assume no suspension would be given, but with Orr’s reputation you never know.

Boogaard still out

Derek Boogaard missed last night’s game against the Stars due to his back.  He last played Dec 14th against the Ducks.
