It didn't for Spezza's appeal though...
Suspended for 6 games, appealed it immediately, sat out 4 games while it was being appealed and was eventually reduced to the 4 games he already sat out.
Quote:
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jason Spezza had his six-game suspension reduced to four games by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Friday.
Spezza was suspended on Dec. 7, two days after kneeing Winnipeg Jets defenceman Neal Pionk in Toronto's 6-3 loss. He already has sat out four games and is eligible to return for the Maple Leafs on Saturday when they visit the Vancouver Canucks.
