Ryan Hartman of the Minnesota Wild has been suspended 10 games for slamming an opponent's head to the ice with his right arm on a faceoff.

The Wild’s 3-0 loss to the Bruins was the first time Minnesota has been shut out in back-to-back games since Nov. 2022.

Ryan Hartman's 10-game suspension comes as the Minnesota Wild are without their top player and are tight in cap space. It could alter their playoff picture, says Adam Proteau.
