The NHL has taken steps in recent years to crack down on headshots in order to make the game safer and former Boston Bruins star Marc Savard thinks that's a positive sign.
"Players are more aware obviously now. Things are better," he told Sportsnet's Starting Lineup Wednesday.
Savard, who recently opened up about his struggle with post-concussion syndrome in The Players' Tribune, does think the league can do more to deter players from injuring their peers.
"As I sit here and I think back to the [Sidney] Crosby situation with [Matt] Niskanen—I know it doesn't look deliberate but it's still a headshot and I think there needs to be a suspension no matter what whether it's deliberate or not. You still hit the head whether you meant to or not."
