NHL commissioner Gary Bettman upheld Rasmus Andersson's four-game suspension Tuesday, one day after hearing the appeal from the Calgary Flames defenseman.
Andersson received the ban Sunday for a hit against Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine during the Flames' 3-1 loss Friday in Columbus. The incident occurred as the final horn sounded, when he lowered the boom on Laine, who was attempting to score into an empty net.
Andersson was whistled for a major penalty for elbowing Laine, who did not travel with the Blue Jackets for their game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.
