Golden Knights defenceman Alex Pietrangelo and Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse were suspended by the NHL for one game apiece on Thursday after a wild end to Game 4 of the two teams' playoff series.

Edmonton won Wednesday's game 4-1. Both Nurse and Pietrangelo will miss Game 5 in Las Vegas, with the best-of-seven series tied 2-2.

Pietrangelo was punished for slashing Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl at the 18:29 mark of the third period. The 33-year-old Pietrangelo was given a five-minute major penalty for slashing and a game misconduct.

Draisaitl was down on the ice for a few seconds but did not appear to be seriously hurt. "That was a really, really dangerous slash," Draisaitl said. "I think those are things that have nothing to do with hockey or the game.
