BREAKING: Department of Player Safety Drops the Hammer on Alex Pietrangelo

The hammer of justice has struck in Vegas, as defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has been suspended one game by the NHL. The suspension is a result of Pietrangelo's slash on Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl at the end of last night's game.

Alex Pietrangelo isn't usually regarded as a dirty player, but this play is really unacceptable. The video of the incident in question can be found here.

The NHL's Department of Player Safety announced that Pietrangelo would have a hearing for his slash on Draisaitl, and it looks like they've finally made their decision.

What do you think, was this justice served?
