Flames' Pospisil ejected for boarding Blackhawks' Hall

Flames forward Martin Pospisil was ejected for boarding Chicago Blackhawks veteran Taylor Hall during Calgary's 5-2 victory Monday.

The incident occurred midway through the second period. Pospisil received a five-minute major and game misconduct.

Blackhawks phenom Connor Bedard scored on the ensuing power play, but Yegor Sharangovich responded with a shorthanded marker for the Flames two minutes later.

The NHL suspended Pospisil for three games for boarding Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn in March. He was also ejected for cross-checking Boston Bruins veteran Brad Marchand in the face in February and tossed from a game in April for elbowing Winnipeg Jets rearguard Josh Morrissey.

The 25-year-old entered Monday's matchup with 10 goals, 36 points, and 160 penalty minutes in 104 career games.
