Michael Rasmussen in hot water with the NHL

The bad news for the Detroit Red Wings is seemingly continuing to pile on. Already having to deal with multiple injuries as well as the absence of Jakub Vrana (NHLPA Player Assistance Program), there's a chance that one key forward could face discipline from the National Hockey League.
