Despite there being no supplemental discipline on the hit on Joe Pavelski, the incident still has massive implications.
We now know that Joe Pavelski, the third member of the superstar line of Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and himself, will not travel with the team to Minnesota, and will miss games 3 and 4.
He likely has a concussion, considering he hit the ice head-first.
While the Stars dominantly won 7-4 against the Wild in Game 2, quarterbacked by a Roope Hintz hattrick, Pavelski's veteran leadership and playoff pedigree will be sincerely missed.
Hopefully he will make his return later in the series.
