The NHL has suspended Nashville Predators forward Ryan Hartman for Game 5 against the Colorado Avalanche for an illegal check to the head of Carl Soderberg.
The league’s Department of Player Safety issued the suspension Thursday after a hearing.
Hartman was penalized for charging Soderberg at 4:52 of the third period. Soderberg was skating across the blue line and had just passed the puck to a teammate when Hartman hit him in the head.
The NHL noted Hartman took a poor angle and picked Soderberg’s head for the main point of contact and then delivering a hit ”with substantial force.”
Hartman has been fined once in his 162-game NHL career. The Predators lead their first-round

Instead, Talib will be reunited with Wade Phillips in Los Angeles. The Rams' defensive coordinator was also in Denver during the 2015 and '16 seasons.Talib's four-year tenure in Denver was excellent, to say the least. He was named to the Pro Bowl four times and was key in helping them win Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers.
