"Because it was under six games, Commissioner Gary Bettman has the final say. Same as Rasmus Andersson,"
added the report.While McAvoy's appeal may raise eyebrows, the NHL's rules dictate that an appeal can't result in a longer suspension, only a maintenance or reduction. The controversial hit to the head has garnered attention, as the NHL is keen on eradicating such plays from the game.
