Disturbing scene involving two former Blackhawks results in NHL hearing

There would be two former Blackhawks involved in the matchup, and it would not be for the better.

Alex DeBrincat was slewfooted/tripped by Ryan Hartman, a former Blackhawk who had only four shots on goal.

Hartman would escape punishment, but the retaliation for the slew-footing would not. The NHL of today just doesn't make sense, does it?

Meanwhile, the Department of player safety will hold a hearing for Ryan Hartman's behavior on the ice during Sunday's game, continuing its inconsistent enforcement practices.

After a lackluster performance last season, Hartman has 7 goals and 11 points in 18 games this year.

DeBrincat however, has been a point-per-game producer, with 12 goals and 8 assists for 20 points during the 2023-2024 season.
