Minnesota Wilds Player To Receive A Suspension After A Dirty Slew-Foot
Ryan Hartman of the Minnesota Wild faces scrutiny from the NHL's Department of Player Safety after a contentious incident involving Alex DeBrincat of the Detroit Red Wings.
The announcement swiftly followed today's game, where Hartman executed what appears to be a classic slew-foot, getting his leg behind DeBrincat and pushing him with his arm.
The intentional nature of the act seems evident, given the deliberate extension of Hartman's leg. The looming question now is the extent of the consequences, with the only uncertainty being the number of games Hartman might face in light of this controversial play.
