Rodrigues was assessed a double minor on the play. The incident occurred during a faceoff at centre ice, where Rodrigues responded to a shove from Rossi by raising his stick into Rossi’s throat. The 33-year-old Rodrigues has been held pointless in four games this season.
The Devils hold a 2-2-0 record early this season with their next game coming Monday against the Ottawa Senators.
