NHL Suspends Panthers' Lockwood for Three Games After Fleury Hit

Suspension sparks debate among fans, Fleury to miss next game due to injury

Florida Panthers winger William Lockwood has been suspended for three games following a hit on Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury during a game on January 19.
The suspension has sparked debate among fans, with some alleging inconsistencies in the NHL's disciplinary actions.
Marc-Andre Fleury was forced to leave the game due to an upper-body injury and will miss the next game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Lockwood will lose $12,109.38 in salary as a penalty, which will go to the Players Emergency Assistance Fund.
The incident also led to an on-ice brawl between Lockwood and Minnesota Wild right wing Brandon Duhaime.
