Suspension Incoming After Vicious Slash After The Whistle

During last night's Devils versus Flyers game, Brendan Smith delivered a pretty dirty slash on Travis Konecny after the whistle. The slash was in retaliation to a Konecny crosscheck and was a full swing motion.

The department of player safety immediately announced that they would hold a hearing for Smith.

Here is the video of the incident if you missed it. You can clearly see that the slash comes from almost an overhead motion.

The Department of Player Safety has been widely criticized for its punishments for slashes, specifically for Jacob Trouba's slash on Trent Frederic, where a similar slash, but to the head, only landed a $5,000 fine.

We will see how the Department chooses to punish Smith for his slash.
