"The shoulder-to-head hit that left Sharks rookie Andrew Desjardins groggy in Columbus has earned Blue Jackets forward Dane Byers a three-game suspension.

"Byers is in position to make a full body check in which Desjardins' shoulder or chest will be the principal point of contact," NHL chief disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan said in his ruling. "However, Byers rises up and finishes high upon impact, driving his left shoulder up and into Desjardins' head.""
