Zach L'Heureux was suspended 3 games for a slew-foot on the Wild's Jared Spurgeon on Dec. 31. The Predators winger had to answer for the hit on Saturday.

Even though he is not deemed a "repeat offender" by the NHL, at only 21 years old, L'Heureux has been suspended 11 times at lower levels.

The Minnesota Wild had a big game circled against the Nashville Predators and revenge for Jared Spurgeon's injury was on their mind.

Nashville (15-22-7, 37 points) beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Thursday, clinching the win with a 3-for-3 shootout performance from Gustav Nyquist, Ryan O'Reilly, and Steven Stamkos. It was the Predators' first appearance in a shootout this season.
