Late Thursday evening, word from NHL Player Safety arrived. Pietrangelo would also serve just one game.
“That’s a really, really dangerous slash. Those are things that have nothing to do with hockey or the game. You can seriously injure someone with a slash like that,” said Draisaitl before the team flew to Vegas.“The temperature right now is as hot as it’s been,” said Oiler Mattias Ekholm.
As for Pietrangelo today, he’s lucky he only got one game with Vegas likely going to veteran Ben Hutton in his place for Game 5. Pietrangelo clearly two-handed Draisaitl, coming in late, after he had missed on an empty-net shot.Article content It was such a reckless play, McDavid, who has never had an NHL fight, scuffled with Pietrangelo immediately afterwards. McDavid did have a junior scrap with Bryson Cianfrone and broke his hand in Erie, but nothing as a pro. Pietrangelo has had one NHL fight, back in November 2010, against San Jose’s Logan Couture.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
