VIDEO: Maple Leafs' Komarov ejected for headshot on Rangers' McDonagh

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov could have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety in his immediate future.

Komarov was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct Thursday after delivering an elbow to the head of New York Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh.

McDonagh left the game at the end of the period and will not return for "precautionary reasons." He was playing in just his second game since sustaining a concussion when he was punched in the face by Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds on Feb. 6.

The 29-year-old Komarov has never been suspended in 160 career NHL games.
