BREAKING: Gary Bettman Delivers A Verdict On David Perron's Suspension

"The National Hockey League Players' Association ("NHLPA"), on behalf of David Perron, has appealed from a December 11, 2023, supplementary discipline decision suspending Mr. Perron for six (6) games.

This shall constitute my determination of Mr. Perron's appeal. For the reasons described herein, I find that the decision suspending Mr. Perron for six (6) games was supported by clear and convincing evidence and is, therefore, affirmed."

"There is no question (and no dispute) that Mr. Perron's conduct involved a serious crosschecking infraction in violation of League Playing Rules. Based on my review of the video, I find that Mr. Perron's actions were not merely careless or reckless, they were intentional. Mr.Perron skated deliberately and aggressively toward Mr. Zub after play was stopped."
