Gudas gets five-game suspension for dangerous knee-on-knee hit on Matthews

The NHL's disciplinary committee suspended Czech defenseman Radek Gudas for a knee-on-knee hit on American forward Auston Matthews. Anaheim's captain will therefore miss five games. The incident occurred during Friday's game between Anaheim and Toronto, when Gudas carelessly fouled the home team's star. As a result of this injury, Matthews' season has ended. lidovky.cz ↗ idnes.cz ↗

The incident stirred up considerable commotion in the North American league. Fans of Toronto and other teams reacted negatively, with some voices calling for harsher punishment. Part of the problem is that Gudas has become responsible for serious incidents within a fairly short period of time. Not long ago, he took part in the Olympic Games in Milan, where he sidelined Canadian captain Sidney Crosby, significantly weakening one of the tournament favorites. isport.cz ↗ sport.cz - fotbal ↗

Gudas will accept the five-game punishment. The suspension will also cost the Czech defenseman over two million crowns in withheld salary. The punishment is considered expected and stems from the conclusions of the NHL's disciplinary committee, which assessed the degree of danger of the hit and its consequences for the injured player. The incident in Toronto thus closes the chapter on another controversial Gudas hit within a short timeframe. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗ irozhlas.cz ↗
