NEW YORK (AP) — New York Islanders winger Jonathan Drouin has been suspended one game for cross-checking Pittsburgh’s Connor Dewar in the head late in Thursday’s game at PPG Paints Arena.
The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced the ban Friday after holding a disciplinary hearing to review the play.
The 30-year-old Drouin was given a five-minute major penalty and ejected with a game misconduct for the cross-check in a post-whistle scrum with 15 seconds left that sent Dewar to the ice.
This is Drouin’s first career suspension in the league. He will miss the Islanders’ home opener Saturday night against the Washington Capitals. He’ll forfeit US$20,833 in salary, with the money going to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
