From nhl.com:
Personally, I (Kevin) think the suspension was really light. I thought he was going to get 4/5 regular season games just to "send a message", leading to us being pissed when a similar hit gets 1 or 2 games in January.
This means that the Wings won't have to do what they did with Smithicles two years ago and call him up for a couple of games at a time to burn his suspension off. Pulkkinen can still play in the last two preseason games. As of this writing, I don't know if the AHL will put additional games on, as they did with Smith back in 2011.
So...the Wings and Pulkkinen caught a break here, in my opinion. Hey Angus, next time, make good choices, Angus.
