Malkin Suspended 5 Games for Slashing Dahlin

0:00Welcome to NHO News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NHL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. Pittsburgh Penguins, forward. Ev Ginny Malkin faces a five-game suspension without pay for slashing Buffalo Sabre's defenseman, Rasmus Dalin. The NHL Department of Player Safety made the call after an incident in their match-up. Earlier this week, on Thursday, March 5, it happened 35 seconds into the second period at Pittsburgh. That was NHL Game, number 977. Malcolm drew a minor penalty for cross-checking, a major for slashing, and a game is conduct right on the spot. The penguins will feel the hit without one of their top players for those games. League officials announced the suspension on Saturday, March 7. It's based on standard rules under their collective bargaining agreement. As a result, Malkin forefits $158,854 and $15 cents from his average annual salary. That cash heads straight to the player's emergency assistance fund.
