The New Jersey Devils won a big game yesterday, and their 8-4 win reduces the gap to one game in their series against the Hurricanes.
During the game, Tomas Tatar was involved in a dangerous sequence with Sebastian Aho. He took a swing with his stick at Aho's head.
Here's the video :
After the game, people were eagerly waiting for the Department of Player Safety to give its verdict.
It's finally here.

This is a dangerous play that could have seriously injured Sebastian Aho.
The DoPS made the decision to give him a fine instead of a suspension. Do you agree with that verdict?
The series continues tomorrow in New Jersey.
