Taylor Hall believes justice has been served.

The New Jersey Devils forward appears content with the NHL's decision to suspend Ottawa's Alex Burrows for 10 games after a kneeing incident on Jan. 6.

"It’s a lot of games," Hall said Thursday, per Andrew Gross of The Record. "I think what they’re saying is it’s not really a hockey play. It’s not something you want to see in the game.

"I don’t know what his reaction was or his reasoning but it’s something where the reason it’s so high is they just want to exterminate it. They don’t want to see it again."

Burrows also accepted the decision, declining to appeal the suspension.

Immediately after the incident, Hall said Burrows seemed to have lost his mind, and Devils head coach John Hynes agreed that the player's actions were outside the scope of hockey-related events.

"It was certainly a warranted suspension and well deserved," Hynes said. "There’s no need for that in the game. It’s nice to see the league took swift action and the right action."
