Despite the Bruins clinching a 6-4 victory in a game that appeared to play out smoothly, the events that happened after the game tell a different story. The NHL's Department of Player Safety has raised eyebrows with a decision that hints at tensions that have puzzled the fanbase. <h3>NHL's Disciplinary Actions</h3> The following day, the NHL's Department of Player Safety made an announcement that has puzzled the fanbase.
