Why are suspensions down in the 2022-23 NHL season?

When NHL fans heard there would be a 3D animated game played inside the world of Disney's "Big City Greens," many asked the obvious question: What happens if there's a fight? Would Tilly chuck knuckles with Cricket?

The animators had a contingency plan for that -- the digital avatars of Washington Capitals and New York Rangers players would just sort of bump into each other before the camera would cut away to a mo-capped Kevin Weekes. But it got me wondering about other potential acts of violence in the game.

What if the Capitals' Tom Wilson had a disciplinary relapse against the Rangers and did something suspension-worthy?
