Ryan Hartman Speaks Out On His 3 Game Suspension For The First Time
The NHL's Department of Player Safety recently handed down a three-game suspension to Minnesota Wild's forward Ryan Hartman for unsportsmanlike conduct.
This decision came after a heated incident in the overtime finale of Saturday's clash between the Minnesota Wild and the Vegas Golden Knights.
Hartman's frustration boiled over following an unpenalized high-stick by Noah Hanifin in the third period, leading to the suspension-worthy actions.
Minnesota's Ryan Hartman has been suspended for three games for unsportsmanlike conduct for his actions during Saturday's game against Vegas.
In a candid moment with the press today, Hartman reflected on the incident that sidelined him for the upcoming games, a critical juncture as the Wild vie for a playoff position.
Ryan Hartman said he knew what he did, throwing stick on the ice, was unacceptable. Said he was «over the top frustrated.» Didn't intend to hurt anyone. He obviously accepts suspension, something to learn from
While Hartman owned up to his moment of frustration, this isn't his first suspension. However, the timing could not be worse for his team, emphasizing the importance of keeping cool under pressure.
