NHL Player Safety to Hand Out Suspension After Disgusting Two-Handed Slash on a Calgary Flame

Minnesota Wild's Ryan Hartman got himself in hot water last night in the game between the Wild and visiting Calgary Flames, a scrum would ensue between the two sides.

During the altercation Hartman would give Flames defenceman Ramus Andersson a nasty slash. Andersson's teammate Trevor Lewis would try to defend his teammate and Hartman sucker punched Lewis while wearing his gloves still.

The official's would give Hartman a double minor penalty, but I believe that's not all Hartman will receive as Hartman is likely going to face a suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety.
