This perception was reinforced when Alex Pietrangelo failed to receive a 10-game suspension and penalties for fighting after exiting the penalty box.
Despite his clear violation of league rules, it seems that Pietrangelo will be back in the fold next game.
This blatant favoritism is unacceptable, especially since Pietrangelo was not innocent in this incident.
He claimed that an NHL employee opened the penalty box, but this is just an excuse for his behavior.
Unfortunately, the Department of Player Safety does not seem to prioritize the safety of players.
