Nashville Predators forward Ryan Johansen dodged a bullet Thursday, as The Athletic's Kevin Kurz reports Johansen will not face any supplemental discipline for his high hit on San Jose Sharks rearguard Marc-Edouard Vlasic.
Here is the play in question from Wednesday's game:

Johansen was assessed a two-minute minor on the play. Vlasic was helped off the ice and did not return.
The Sharks have yet to provide an official update on the defenseman's status.
