Ryan Hartman has always played hard in his NHL career, but on Saturday he took it too far with a disgusting act on Senators forward Tim Stutzle that could have resulted in a major injury for the young star.

Hartman, who was assessed a match penalty for roughing Tim Stutzle right after a faceoff, will forfeit $487,804.90 in salary and won't be eligible to play until March 9. The suspension will last for more than a month because the Four Nations Face-Off break will put the league on hiatus for two weeks from Feb. 13 through Feb. 20.
