Anton Stralman Avoids Suspension
7 years agoTampa Bay defenseman Anton Stralman will not face supplemental discipline for his boarding of Washington’s Tom Wilson in the first period of Game 3 on Tuesday. Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post offered some insight on the play, stating, “Typically, on plays where a player sees the hitter approaching and turns his back, and the hitting player then attempts to minimize the force — Stralman was considered to have changed his angle to hit the back shoulder — there isn’t supplementary discipline.” With just one goal and three assists in 13 postseason games, Stralman isn’t worth looking at for DFS, but his avoiding suspension may benefit Andrei Vasilevskiy’s outlook.
