Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman has been the talk of the NHL in recent days, after he was tossed from their game on Saturday vs the Ottawa Senators, then later suspended for allegedly trying to smash the face of Tim Stutzle into the Canadian Tire Centre ice during a faceoff. Admittedly… the optics are not good on replay.

Ryan Hartman's 10-game suspension comes as the Minnesota Wild are without their top player and are tight in cap space. It could alter their playoff picture, says Adam Proteau.

The Wild’s 3-0 loss to the Bruins was the first time Minnesota has been shut out in back-to-back games since Nov. 2022.
