In case you missed it, during the Wild versus the Red Wings last night, Ryan Hartman had a dirty slew foot on Detroit's Alex DeBrincat. The trip immediately drew the attention of several Detroit players.
NHL Player Safety swiftly announced that Hartman would have a hearing today regarding the slew-foot, likely indicating that he will be suspended for the action.
While the play itself is borderline on whether it should be suspendable, the issue here is Hartman's past. Hartman has a long rap sheet with the Department of Player Safety, being suspended twice already in his career and fined 6 times.
The dirty play could have been a sign of frustration from Hartman, as the Minnesota Wild have struggled out of the gate this year. The team now sits near the bottom of the Central Division at 5-10-4 and lost last night in a brutal fashion against the Red Wings 4-1.
With Hartman likely to be out, the Wild will need to find some juice to spark their season.
