Red Wings prospect Givani Smith plays for the OHL’s Kitchener Rangers, but he should probably expect a suspension coming his way.

During his game against Sarnia on Tuesday, Smith was getting ready to fight the Sting’s Kelton Hatcher. As linesman Dustin McCrank attempted to break up the altercation, Smith threw the official to the ice and continued to fight Hatcher.

That appeared to be a clear-cut abuse of official penalty, but no such foul was called during the incident.

After the game, Kitchener coach Jay McKee said that he would leave the disciplinary action up to the league. Via scoutingtherefs.com:

“I’ll leave that to the league. No abuse of an official penalty was called on the play.”

Smith was hit with a 2-minute cross-checking penalty and a five-minute major for fighting. The OHL has yet to rule on a potential suspension.

An abuse of official violation would result in a minimum 3-game suspension.
