### Incident Description:
During the second period of the game on Sunday, March 23, 2025, Henrik Neubauer delivered a kneeing action to Simeon Schwinger, resulting in Schwinger sustaining an injury. Neubauer's knee-on-knee contact with Schwinger was unnecessary and avoidable, as he had other options to resolve the play more responsibly. Neubauer’s decision to use his knee rather than playing the puck or engaging in a legal body check demonstrated a clear disregard for the safety of Schwinger.
### Factors Considered:
1. **First-Time Offender**: Neubauer has no prior disciplinary history, which is considered when determining the severity of the suspension.
2. **Nature of the Play**: Neubauer’s choice to engage in kneeing rather than attempting to play the puck or use a legal body check was reckless. He had alternative methods to resolve the situation but opted for a dangerous action that led to injury.
3. **Injury**: The injury sustained by Schwinger as a result of the kneeing is a significant factor in this ruling. The injury emphasizes the potential harm caused by such actions and the importance of maintaining player safety.
4. **Other Options Available**: Neubauer had other options to handle the play. He could have made a more responsible attempt to either play the puck or engage in a legal body check.
### DOPS Decision:
After reviewing the incident, Henrik Neubauer is suspended for **three (3) games**. This suspension reflects the severity of the kneeing incident, the injury to Schwinger, and Neubauer’s disregard for the safety of his opponent. Given that Neubauer is a first-time offender, the suspension length is deemed appropriate to address the incident and serve as a deterrent against similar actions in the future.

**Suspension Length**: 3 games
**Effective Date**: Starting from the next game following the ruling
