In a recent game, Calgary Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane found himself in hot water after a controversial incident involving Jared McCann.
Mangiapane was assessed a match penalty for what appeared to be an attempt to injure McCann.
The incident occurred when McCann was already down on the ice, and Mangiapane crosschecked him, leading to his ejection from the game. Such incidents are taken seriously in the NHL, as player safety is a top priority.
«Because he was assessed a match penalty, Mangiapane will be receiving an automatic suspension, pending review from the Department of Player Safety.»
Mangiapane's actions have sparked discussions within the hockey community, with many expressing their concerns about player safety and the need for stricter penalties for dangerous plays.
