Fourteen Wins Down, Two To Go

That counts as three thousand words, right?
OK, open discussion time now.
The NHL rulebook calls for an automatic suspension for any player penalized for instigating a fight in the last five minutes of the game. Malkin got five for fighting, a ten minute misconduct and the instigator minor for going after Zetterberg. Does Colin Campbell cave to Gary Bettman and rescind the suspension because Bettman so far in the Penguins' pocket that suspending Malkin would be in his eyes not in the best interest of the game, or does Malkin watch the next game from the press box?
