Devils defenseman Brendan Smith has received a suspension for slashing Travis Konecny after the play had stopped.
Smith Faces Suspension for Slashing Konecny
In yesterday's game, Devils defenseman committed a slashing offense against Travis Konecny after the play had ceased, leading to a hearing with the NHL DoPS today. The DoPS deemed this action as unsportsmanlike, resulting in Smith's suspension. There could be debates about the severity of the punishment, considering the post-whistle timing, while others might argue it was provoked by Konecny's earlier cross-check.
Nevertheless, Smith will be sidelined for a period and will incur significant financial loss due to the suspension.
