Golden Knights' Ryan Reaves facing suspension for intent to injure Avalanche's Ryan Graves

Ryan Reaves was ejected from Game 1 of the Golden Knights' series-opening game against the Avalanche on Sunday for dirty play in the third period. The Las Vegas enforcer, perhaps frustrated by his team's five-goal deficit to Colorado, cross-checked Avalanche goalie Philipp Grubauer with 11:56 remaining in the game. Grubauer responded by striking the back of Reaves' leg. Reaves then punched Ryan Graves in the back of the head and pulled him to the ice. There, Reaves could be seen kneeling on Graves' head.
