Matt Dumba will not face a disciplinary hearing after Joe Pavelski hit

Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba will not face any punishment from the NHL's Player Safety after his hit on Dallas Stars center Joe Pavelski.

The hit, during Game 1 of the playoffs, caused Pavelski to knock his head on the ice and appeared to be illegal. However, Dumba was only given a two-minute minor penalty.

Pavelski's teammate, Max Domi, was outraged by the hit and immediately went after Dumba, causing a chaotic situation. Domi's reaction was understandable as his teammate was injured and Dumba's hit could have serious consequences.

The NHL's decision not to hold a hearing for Matt Dumba is sure to be controversial, as many believe the hit was illegal and dangerous.

The league's Player Safety has been criticized in the past for inconsistent rulings and not doing enough to protect players from dangerous hits.

While Matt Dumba will not face any punishment for the hit, the incident is a reminder that the NHL needs to do more to protect its players. The league has made strides in recent years to address head injuries and dangerous hits, but there is still work to be done.
