Official confirmation hasn’t surfaced regarding Patrick Kane, leaving many to speculate about scary thoughts such as the Chicago Blackhawks star missing 10+ weeks. The guy who injured him won’t have to nervously await a call from the NHL, however.

Florida Panthers defenseman Alex Petrovic won’t face a fine or suspension for his controversial cross-check on Kane, according to TVA’s Renaud Lavoie.

Petrovic has never been suspended at the NHL level.
