The NHL has issued a one-game suspension to New Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier following an incident involving Nashville Predators prospect Zachary L’Heureux.
The hit, which occurred during a recent game, was deemed by the league to violate player safety rules. Meier’s suspension highlights the league’s continued focus on discouraging dangerous plays and ensuring a safer environment on the ice.
