Report suggests that NHL Player Safety has decided Leon Draisaitl's suspension
Controversy erupted after Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals due to a collision involving Leon Draisaitl and Aleksander Barkov. Today, Draisaitl's fate has been determined.
Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl has been thrust into the spotlight over the past few hours due to a forceful hit he delivered to Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov. The impact sidelined Barkov and prompted speculation regarding a potential suspension for Draisaitl.
The league must suspend Leon Draisaitl for his elbow to the head of Aleksander Barkov.
Recent reports have confirmed that Leon Draisaitl will not face suspension for the hit. While the possibility of other disciplinary measures remains, suspension seems unlikely.
Don't expect Leon Draisaitl to be suspended for his hit on Aleksander Barkov.
It doesn't sound like we'll see any significant discipline coming for Leon Draisaitl on last night's hit on Aleksander Barkov.
As of now, the NHL has not issued an official statement. If any punishment were to be handed down, it would need to be announced by the end of the day.
We will continue to provide updates on this developing situation involving Leon Draisaitl as more information becomes available.
