Hartman to have NHL Player Safety hearing after slew-foot on DeBrincat

Wild's Ryan Hartman will have an hearing with the NHL Player Safety after his slew-foot on Alex DeBrincat.

The Wild have now lost seven straight games with their most recent loss to the Detroit Red Wings today and have lost 13 of their last 16 games as the wheels on this bus seem to be falling off. 

Seven straight losses is something the Wild have never done in their franchise history, believe it or not. Now they are in danger of losing Ryan Hartman for a game or two after his slew-foot/tripping play on Alex DeBrincat in today's loss. 

The hearing with the NHL Player Safety will be tomorrow and with Hartman being a repeated offender, a suspension could be at stake, or at least a big fine. 

Hartman possibly being suspended shouldn't be the biggest of concerns on this Wild team that is 5-10-4 and one of the worst teams in the leagues in terms of standings. 

Although it won't help that Hartman could be suspended, it shouldn't be used as an excuse if the Wild's losing ways continue.
