Boeser spent some time down in the ice before skating off without help. Jeannot was given a match penalty for the illegal hit. Despite being able to skate off without help, Boeser did not return to the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Second Punishment in Three Seasons<\/h3>\n<p>Jeannot is by no means a frequent flier, when it comes to the Department of Player Safety. However, this is the second time in three seasons Jeannot has been given a punishment. His first came in 2022 when Jeannot was fined $2,000 for kneeing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/tkachbr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-08_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brady Tkachuk<\/a>. Now, the forward has been suspended for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<h3>Kings Depth Tested<\/h3>\n<p>The Kings are already a forward short. That is now up to two following Jeannot&#8217;s suspension.

The injury is not head related. However, there is no timetable for his return.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere\u2019s always injuries or things that happen during the year,\u201d Kings centre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lewistr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-08_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trevor Lewis<\/a> said. \u201cYou need depth in the organization.
