Detroit Red Wings forward David Perron's 6-game suspension, already served, was upheld by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman after an in-person hearing in New York. Perron can appeal to a neutral arbitrator to potentially reduce the suspension and reclaim lost salary. If the suspension is reduced to 5 games, Perron will play in the upcoming game against Winnipeg.
