Report: Thornton won't be disciplined for headshot on Oshie

Joe Thornton appears to have avoided punishment for the hit that knocked T.J. Oshie out of Monday night's game.

The San Jose Sharks forward will not receive any supplemental discipline for hitting the Washington Capitals winger in the head late in the second period, The Athletic's Kevin Kurz reports.

Oshie was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly after the incident, and didn't practice with the Capitals on Tuesday.

Here's a look at the hit, if you missed it:

Capitals pest Tom Wilson fought Thornton early in the third period, in an act Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer called "predmeditated crap" and "garbage."
