The incident involving Morgan Rielly and Ridley Greig has been a talking point in the NHL for over a week now, and after filing an appeal, we finally know the fate of the Toronto Maple Leafs veteran defenseman. <h2>Morgan Rielly's appeal officially rejected by Gary Bettman</h2> After being given a five-game suspension for the incredibly dangerous cross-check to the face, Rielly appealed the suspension to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, and we've now got the result of that appeal. <q>Morgan Rielly's five-games suspension has been affirmed by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. He's eligible to return to the #leafs lineup on Thursday.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1759994601581244757?s=20&fbclid=IwAR1-yXOLXugfUoA2Dyd8MU6EkYftrQ8GPoS_9vkyI0FdUyE0mjFbblJ3xJk'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1759996516717191178?s=46&t=o-Q0QckAboRGrsPBT1vFrQ'> </a></blockquote></div> Unfortunately for Toronto, the suspension has been upheld, meaning that he will miss his fifth and final game against the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday, with his return to come against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions on Thursday. Ultimately, this was the right move from the NHL as the incident was a major overreaction for the Leafs veteran, who serves the first major suspension of his career thus far.
