Ryan Reaves has thrown another questionable hit.
The St. Louis Blues winger was dinged with a five-minute major charging penalty and automatic game misconduct Wednesday night for taking a run at Chicago Blackhawks defender Christian Ehrhoff.
The NHL's Department of Player Safety is required to look at the infraction to assess whether to uphold, lengthen, or rescind the automatic suspension tied to a game misconduct.
Reaves' force appeared to be exclusively through the body of Ehrhoff, but the argument could certainly be made that he left his feet to deliver the blow.
Ehrhoff returned to Wednesday's game.
Reaves was issued a three-game suspension for a nasty hit on Matt Tennyson only two weeks ago.
