Bracco is currently suspended for a cross check. I did not see the play, has anyone seen it?

The team was without winger Jeremy Bracco on Monday.
The Toronto Maple Leafs second-round draft pick was tossed from Saturday's game at 15:38 of the first period for cross-checking Erie's Haydn Hopkins.
The match penalty garnered a minimum three-game suspension but the league is reviewing the play and Bracco could be out longer.
"I think he flopped a bit," said Bracco. "When it comes down to it I don't think it's the worst compared to what other people do but we'll see what they say.
"Hopefully, they'll see that I really didn't intend to injure him. We were both kind of jarring at each other and I guess he went down. Obviously I don't try to hurt players."
Hopkins wasn't hurt on the play and finished the game.
Bracco isn't a dirty player. He has just 15 penalty minutes all season but his 17 goals and 1.27 points per game will be missed.
