Mitch Marner Expected To Face Severe Punishment From NHL Player Safety After Vicious Slash

Mitch Marner's Uncharacteristic Physical Play

Mitch Marner, typically not seen as a physical player, often avoids confrontations on the ice. However, a recent incident during a Global Series game against the Minnesota Wild marked a departure from this usual demeanor.

Breaking Point in the Game

In the second period, Marner tangled with Joel Eriksson-Ek of the Wild. Eriksson-Ek pushed Marner to the ice near the net, triggering an evident reaction from Marner. As the play continued up the ice, Marner retaliated with a two-handed slash aimed at Eriksson-Ek's knee.

Potential Consequences

Although the action might not warrant a suspension, similar incidents have previously resulted in fines. This brings attention to how George Parros, who has faced accusations of bias against the Maple Leafs, will handle this situation.
