We have our next suspension for this year's NHL playoffs! This time, it will be Alex Pietrangelo of the Vegas Golden Knights sitting out following his actions in last night's game against the Edmonton Oilers.
Pietrangelo Suspended For One Game
The NHL's Department of Player Safety Announced on Thursday that Vegas defenseman Alex Pietrangelo would receive a one game suspension for his slash on Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl.
The play in question was incredibly dangerous, and could've resulted in serious injury to Draisaitl. Watch the incident here:
