EDMONTON, Alberta — Penguins forward Tom Sestito said Friday he disagrees with the NHL’s ruling to suspend him four games for a hit on Winnipeg defenseman Toby Enstrom Wednesday.
“I’ve got no choice but to serve them,” Sestito said after the Penguins’ morning skate Friday. “Take it in stride and go from there.”
The NHL ruled that Sestito’s first-period hit on Enstrom constituted boarding. At the time, Sestito was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct. Enstrom left the game and has been diagnosed with a concussion.
Sestito said he thought Enstrom saw him coming, even though his back was turned.
