Major suspension anticipated for Devils player due to a severe two-handed slash

As the game neared its end and players were changing lines following a whistle, Travis Konecny of the Flyers opted to give Brendan Smith of the Devils a slight push with his stick. However, Smith reacted strongly, retaliating with a forceful swing using both hands on his stick.

Currently, Player Safety has arranged a hearing for Smith today, and it's challenging to envision a situation where he doesn't face a suspension. While retaliation is understandable, wielding your stick in that manner isn't a wise choice.
