The NHL Players Association ("NHLPA") has filed an appeal on behalf of Voracek, disputing the decision of George Parros, the head of the Department of Player Safety. The decision of the appeal will impact both the number of games Voracek will miss and also how much money he will have to forfeit as a result. Two players, Voracek and Jack Eichel of the Buffalo Sabers, received supplemental discipline for hits to the head on March 9. https://t.co/9YI9Jhc1oU — NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) March 10, 2019After being notified of the suspension, Voracek expressed his views on Twitter. The appeal by the NHLPA could reduce the suspension and allow Voracek to play in the Flyers game on Thursday against the Washington Capitals but could also save Voracek approximately $38,000.00 to $76,000.00 in salary.
