NHL is on Alert after Edmonton Oilers file complaint that Flames players are targeting to injure
With all the the recent injuries and intent to injure, the NHL department of player safety shared that they are well aware of the Calgary Flames targeting Oilers Star Leon Draisaitl.
The Oilers made a formal complaint to the League after game three that they felt the Flames players are intentionally targeting Draisaitl and trying to injure him.
It's clear that Draisaitl is suffering through an injury, but the Flames aren't making things any easier on him by targeting his ankle whenever possible. In particular, NHL insider Frank Seravalli reports that the NHL has seen the following clip and have warned the Flames that they'll be watching tonight's game closely
#NHL is aware of this clip and the apparent targeting of #LetsGoOilers Leon Draisaitl's ankle. Safe to say Player Safety / Hockey Ops / Officiating Depts are in communication and will keep an eye out for the same in Game 4 and beyond. https://t.co/xIEdaEPqz7� Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) May 24, 2022
