Montreal Canadiens veteran Cedric Paquette was handed a five-minute major and game misconduct after boarding Anaheim Ducks phenom Trevor Zegras on Sunday.

Zegras initially left the game but later returned. The 2019 ninth overall pick had recorded five points in nine contests entering Sunday.

Paquette has one prior suspension in his nine-year career - a boarding hit on Torey Krug in 2017.
