After being ejected Pospisil was required to do a hearing with the Department of Player Safety. In that meeting, it was determined that Pospisil would be suspended for 3 games due to his actions.
The Flames will now have to proceed without Martin Pospisil for these games. In his absence, some of the younger talents on the Flames roster could see a bump up in the lineup.
As any information becomes available on an appeal or upholding of the suspension to Pospisil we will provide it to you.
