Bettman trims ban of Wild's Hartman down to 8

78% Informative

Bettman reduces Hartman 's 10 -game suspension from 10 games to eight games.

Hartman was suspended Feb. 1 for "using his forearm to violently slam the head of Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stützle into the ice" This is the first time Bettman has reduced a suspension from Player Safety since Jason Spezza's ban for kneeing Neal Pionk in December 2021 .

In conclusion, Bettman believed that an eight -game ban would still be a sufficient "wake-up call" to a repeat offender like Hartman , "causing him to reevaluate his conduct on the ice and make positive changes of his game." As his suspension was greater than five games, Hartman still had the option to appeal to a neutral arbitrator after Bettman 's ruling. But he is not expected to do so and will be eligible to return for the Wild on March 4 in Seattle Kraken . Hartman will keep roughly $97,600 in salary for having had his suspension reduced..
