Per NHL rules, Alex Pietrangelo's acts on Saturday night were enough to give him a 10-game suspension.

The NHL has now made a decision on whether he would get it or not.

Pietrangelo Will NOT Get the Suspension

While it is undecided on whether Pietrangelo will watch game 5 from the press box, he will certainly not get a 10-game suspension.

Rule 70.4

At a stoppage of play following the expiration of their penalties, if a player or players exiting the penalty bench get involved in an altercation, those coming from the penalty bench shall be assessed the penalties they incur in the altercation in addition to a game misconduct and a ten (10) game suspension as outlined in 70.10. Should a player coming from the penalty bench ata stoppage of play get involved with an opponent and the opponent is deemed to be the instigator of the altercation, then the player coming from the penalty bench would not be subject to the game misconduct and ten (10) game suspension.
