Montreal Candiens' Kaiden Guhle gets suspended for dirty slash
The Montreal Canadiens' defenseman Kaiden Guhle got suspended for a controversial dirty slash he landed on Philadelphia Flyers' Travis Konecny.
The NHL announced that Guhle would appear in a hearing on Friday afternoon, and the verdict is finally here!
Guhle must serve a two-game suspension for dirty slash on Travis Konecny
On Thursday evening, Konecny landed a dangerous hit on Guhle, who retaliated later in the game.
After an intense battle for the puck between Travis Konecny and Juraj Slafkosvky, where the Flyers' player got rough with the first overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. Guhle slashed Konecny from the Canadiens' bench.
The referees didn't call a penalty on the play.

And that's what the NHL did.
On X, they just shared the verdict on Guhle. He'll serve a one game suspension for slashing.
Considering that Guhle has never faced consequences from the Department of Player Safety, many people expected that he would need to pay a fine rather than serve a suspension.
However, the NHL wants to set an exmple: this kind of gesture isn't welcomed in the professional hockey.
