David Perron is poised to rejoin the Detroit Red Wings after an official decision on his appeal against a six-game suspension was made by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
Perron's suspension originated from a crosscheck against Artem Zub of the Ottawa Senators, leading to his ejection from the match.
Following the suspension, Perron appealed the decision, stating it as too severe given his clean record. As mandated, the appeal was reviewed by Commissioner Bettman, who has now released his verdict.
In simpler terms, Bettman maintained the suspension's validity. He believes in the deliberate and severe nature of Perron's hit.
Perron already served his suspension, but the option to get a third party to review the decision remains available. This could impact the salary loss tied to being suspended.
