The National Hockey League’s Department of Player Safety has offered Minnesota Wing Winger a personal hearing after being thrown out of the club’s 6-0 tab to the senators in the Canadian Tire Center.

Hartman was assessed a battle penalty and thrown out of the game in order to hurt after he jumped Stutzle in the Faceoff circle at the end of the second period with the senators led 3-0.

Hartman drove Stutzle’s face into the ice. Stutzle had blood over his left eye and demanded stitches to close the cut. The two had exchanged pleasures earlier in the other when Stutzle got a cut minor at Hartman, and he received a diving penalty.

The decision to offer a personal consultation means that Hartman can get a suspension of more than five matches. He has already been suspended five times in his career, so it would be no surprise if the George Parros, the head of the department, threw the book in Hartman.

“It’s a frustrating game we’ve caused blood to flow,” Minnesota told Marcus Foligno. “You take shots at us and Stutzle will do his stuff. But we have to be smarter.

“We just got into that game and it hurt us. Then I just have to be smarter around and just have to be better next match. “

The senators set nature in their place with three goals on the ensuing power play. Jake Sanderson, Brady Tkachuk and Drake Batherson scored with the man’s benefit to make it 6-0, and that was the game over.

“It was important to respond with some goals,” said Ottawa trainer Travis Green. “You never like to see a spectacle like that. There is no place to play like that in this league. “

The 30-year-old Hartman was suspended three games last season to throw his stick on the officials.
