Report: No disciplinary hearing for Avs’ Olver after Tarasenko hit

TarasenkoHit

Colorado forward Mark Olver won’t face any supplemental discipline for his hit on St. Louis Blues rookie Vladimir Tarasenko in the Avalanche’s 1-0 overtime win on Wednesday night, according to an NHL spokesman.

Here’s the hit in question:

The NHL’s reigning rookie of the month, Tarasenko left the contest immediately following the hit and didn’t return.

Tarasenko was then taken to a local hospital for examination, but was released after the game and rejoined the Blues for their flight back to St. Louis.

Olver wasn’t penalized on the play.

Update: Former NHL referee Kerry Fraser said Olver should’ve received a two minute charging minor on the play.
