Suspension Incoming: Oliver Wahlstrom Set To Have A Hearing After Being Ejected For Dangerous Hit
Boston Bruins new forward Oliver Wahlstrom is set to have a hearing with NHL Player Safety after being ejected for a dangerous hit.
The Bruins were put to one of their biggest tests so far this year facing off against the second best team in the league, and they held their own.
Despite beating the second best team in the league, the Bruins had to do it two players short, as during the second period they ended up losing David Pastrnak to injury after taking a hit.
UPDATE: David Pastrnak (upper-body) is unlikely to return to tonight's game.
During the third period, the Bruins would lose another forward in Oliver Wahlstrom after he threw a dangerous hit on Martin Fehervary. The refs initially handed Wahlstrom a five minute major, but would end up reviewing the play.
