NHL player safety reportedly confirms Leon Draisaitl's suspension fate
Two NHL insiders reportedly confirmed Leon Draisaitl's fate regarding a possible suspension for his hit on Aleksander Barkov.
Draisaitl took Barkov out of the game with a dirty elbow hit on the jaw and got away with a mere two-minute penalty.
Here's a video of the hit:
A lot of people on social media voiced their wishes to see Draisaitl suspended by the NHL:
Unfortunately for them, it looks like the Player Safety Department will not suspend Draisaitl for his hit on Barkov.
From Renaud Lavoie and David Pagnotta:
As the Oilers reunite with their fans and their arena in Edmonton for the next two games, they'll need all the firepower they have to get back in the series. The Panthers and their 2-0 lead could return to Florida with the Stanley Cup on the plane if they don't watch out.
Updates from the NHL and the Florida Panthers regarding Draisaitl and Barkov's health should be released before game three. Stay tuned!
