Morgan Rielly's Suspension Upheld
10 months agoNHL commissioner Gary Bettman has upheld Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly's five-game suspension for cross-checking Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig. Rielly was suspended for five games on Feb. 13, but the NHL Players' Association appealed the suspension on his part. The NHLPA claimed it to be excessive, considering Rielly had never been suspended before during his 11-year NHL career. Rielly, who has notched 43 points (seven goals, 36 assists) in 50 outings this season, has already sat out four contests and will serve the final game of his suspension on Wednesday versus Arizona.
