An Appeal To The NHL Receives A Surprising Decision For The Ottawa Senators

The penalty in question, comes late in last nights 6-4 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, when Tkachuk was issued the instigator penalty with 3:10 left in the third after a fight with forward, Alex Tuch.

The gloves were definitely off after that shove from Tkachuk.

Senators coach D.J. Smith would not be fined $10,000 as well.

It looks as though he will be set to join the team for tomorrow nights game against the New York Islanders, at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York.
