    Canadiens left wing Max Pacioretty suffered a severe concussion and a fractured vertebra as a result of a check by Zdeno Chara Tuesday night, but the Boston defenseman will not be fined or suspended.

    "I am upset and disgusted that the league didn't think enough of [the hit] to suspend him," Pacioretty said in an interview with TSN on Wednesday. "I not mad for myself, I'm mad because if other players see a hit like that and think it's okay, they won't be suspended, then other players will get hurt like I got hurt."

    Montreal coach Jacques Martin said Wednesday Pacioretty fractured the fourth cervical vertebra, "but it's not displaced. Max will remain at the hospital for further observation. There will be no other prognosis for the time being, but he will obviously be out indefinitely."
