Hartman suspended one game for check to Soderberg's head

Nashville Predators forward Ryan Hartman has been suspended one game for a hit to the head of Colorado Avalanche forward Carl Soderberg in Game 4, the Department of Player Safety announced.

The incident marks the fourth suspension of the playoffs so far, as Hartman joins Drew Doughty (one game), Nazem Kadri (three games), and Josh Morrissey (one game).

Here's a look at the play, which occurred in the third period of Nashville's 3-2 victory.

Hartman was assessed a charging minor and will be unavailable as the Predators attempt to close out the series Friday night in Nashville.

The Predators acquired Hartman from the Chicago Blackhawks at the trade deadline, and he's contributed one goal so far in the postseason.
