With their season potentially on the line, the Minnesota Wild pulled their goaltender in Overtime, and while it worked earlier in the season, it didn't this time, as they lost the one point the earned in the loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. In that moment, Ryan Hartman threw his stick on the ice in frustration, with many on social media predicting he'd be suspended for the act.
Now, the NHL have confirmed that suspension, as Hartman has officially been given three-games for what the NHL has defined as 'unsportsmanlike conduct'.
It's the second suspension of the season for Hartman, and if he's not careful, his reputation will continue to sour around the league, and for an act like this, it's simply not worth it.
