Elliotte Friedman Believes the NHL Will Warn the Red wings and the Canucks Ahead of Next Game Following Morgan Rielly's Incident and Walman's Celebration
Insider Elliotte Friedman disclosed that both the Canucks and the Red Wings are likely to receive official warnings from the NHL ahead of their upcoming match.

Elliotte mentions both teams will probably be warned before the game this week since the Rielly incident happened.
The Red Wings and the Canucks will meet again on Thursday, which means we won't have to wait very long before seeing how this will unfold on the ice.
More to come.
