The National Hockey League (NHL) has upheld Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson’s four-game suspension, following an appeal earlier this week.
for a hit on Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrick Laine in the final moments of a 3-1 Flames loss on Oct. 20.
During an appeal on Oct. 23, the NHL Players’ Association argued the suspension should be reduced to three games., NHL commissioner Gary Bettman noted that while Andersson took responsibility for the hit during his appeal, it was his responsibility to deliver a clean and fair hit. “Moreover, instead of remaining low to deliver his check through Mr. Laine’s core, Mr. Andersson instead chose to launch upwards in delivering the hit, almost ensuring contact with the head.”
“It also bears noting that given the circumstances of the game at the time of the play, where the game was seconds from ending and was out of reach for Calgary, Mr. Andersson’s hit was completely unnecessary, making it also irresponsible,” the ruling reads.
