BREAKING - NHL Hands Out Major Suspension For 1st of The Year

The Department of Player Safety has scheduled a hearing with Arthur Kaliyev of the Los Angeles Kings for kneeing Anaheim's Chase DeLeo yesterday. Now, they've reached a decision, he's been suspended 4 games total.

The suspension breaks down as follows: Kaliyev will sit out two preseason games and an additional two regular-season games for his knee-on-knee collision with Anaheim's Chase DeLeo.

This verdict serves as a reminder of the NHL's commitment to player safety and underscores the consequences of dangerous plays on the ice.

Kaliyev's absence from the Kings' lineup will undoubtedly impact their early-season efforts. The Kings and their fans will have to await his return, hoping for a cleaner and safer brand of hockey moving forward.
