NHL Hockey: A Pair of Rookies Suspended by the NHL
The preseason and the suspensions are adding up already... One could say that the Director of Players Safety is a busy man. So, this week, Tampa Bay Lightning rookie Adam Erne has been suspended for three pre-season games. You can watch the suspension video to see the reason why.
Not to be out done, Detroit Red Wings rookie forward Teemu Pulkkinen was suspended 4 pre-season games. You can watch the suspension video to see the reason why.
Also, add the suspension to Coyotes enforcer/cement head Paul Bissonnette was handed a heavy 10-game suspension to be served during the regular season for leaving the bench in an illegal line change during an altercation on the ice.
