Player safety is a main priority of the league. The intent to injure a fellow player is inexcusable. Hockey is a dangerous game as is, where injuries can happen due to unfortunate accidents. To intentionally try to injure someone will not improve Hartman&#8217;s reputation in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was the final matchup of the season between the Wild and the Senators. As a result, we will not see how the Senators respond to Hartman&#8217;s actions until next season. When they do meet up again, however, the gloves are likely to drop.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Ron Chenoy- Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Hartman has been given a ten-game suspension for his hit on Tim Stutzle.
