WIld's Ryan Hartman was recently handed a 10-game suspension for his vicious play on Senators' Tim Stutzle, and now he has made a decision regarding his appeal.

The winger had a hearing with the league after being assessed a match penalty for pushing Tim Stützle’s face into the ice after a faceoff.

Ryan Hartman will be out of action for the next month-plus after the NHL Department of Player Safety issued its stiffest punishment of the season. The Minnesota Wild forward was suspended 10 games for roughing — “using his forearm to violently slam the head of Senators forward Tim Stützle into the ice” — during the Wild’s 6-0 loss Saturday.
