Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak was suspended two games on Friday for an illegal check to the head of New York Rangers defenceman Dan Girardi.
Pastrnak delivered the hit in the second period of a 5-2 Bruins loss on Wednesday night and was assessed a minor penalty. Under the terms of the NHL's collective bargaining agreement he will forfeit $10,277.78.
Drafted 25th overall in 2014, Pastrnak has been a revelation for the Bruins in his second season, already with five goals and eight points in seven games playing the right side on the club's top line.
He'll be eligible to return to action Nov. 3 against the hometown Tampa Bay Lightning.
