Most suspensions are short enough and the appeal process takes so long that it's not really worth it to appeal. Even in this situation, if St Louis had forced the first round to 7 games, he'd already have served 6 games of the suspension so the appeal to an arbitrator would be virtually moot at this point. If it had happened in the regular season, he would also likely be 6 or 7 games into it by now.
