WJHC: Will Mathew Dumba be suspended for a knee hit on Erik Karlsson?

Karlsson didn't return after the incident. You can see the hit here via HockeyWebCast. TSN has also a video of the hit, but I'm not sure if people in the US can view it.

Dumba could face supplementary discipline. If he's suspended, it's going to be a tricky situation for Team Canada. They might start the tournament, which is starting on December 26th, with 5 defensemen. That really seems to be an unlikely scenario to happen though. They've until Christmas to officially finalize their roster.

If Dumba is suspended, it's fair to think that he'd probably get 1 or 2 games. It's definitely not something we like to see, but we'll find out later.
