"The Devils' prize rookie draftee might miss tomorrow's visit to Philadelphia because of the crumpling hit P.K. Subban laid on him last night. The Canadiens think Adam Larsson should sit out anyway by suspension.

The sight of Larsson stretched out on the ice was an example of vigilante retaliation, a team taking punishment into its own hands after refs missed alleged infractions.

The Devils said Larsson suffered a "lower back bruise." There's also the possibility Patrik Elias might be reprimanded for his boarding penalty that knocked Mike Blunden out of the game."
