Following the game, Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe was asked about the hit and major that McMann had received. Keefe did not like the call and felt as though McMann was unfairly ejected for what should have been a routine play had Mintyukov protected himself as he should have.
Thus far, here has been no word from the NHL Department of Player Safety as to whether or not McMann will face supplemental discipline. In 15 games with the Leafs so far this season, McMann has 1 goal, 4 points, 21 hits and has averaged 9:16 of ice-time per game.
