A match penalty means the incident is subject to automatic review by the league.
Stutzle was bloodied but stayed in the game.
Hartman and Stutzle got chippy with each other earlier in the game. Stutzle received a two-minute minor for slashing, while Hartman was handed a double minor for roughing and embellishment.
Hartman thought he drew a penalty. The refs gave him 4 with an embellishment tacked on. 💀

And yes, that is Hamonic staring him down from the bench. Hartman's been going after him all period. https://t.co/3HobsemHM9 pic.twitter.com/Sx4yregSJ7
Hartman has been suspended four times in his career for a total of seven games. The last incident came in April 2024 when he threw his stick in the direction of an official.
Stutzle has registered a team-leading 52 points in 52 games this season.
