 Kovalchuk suspension passed down! | |
NEW YORK -- Atlanta Thrashers left wing Ilya Kovalchuk has been suspended for one game, without pay, for a hit from behind on New York Rangers defenseman Michal Rozsival in NHL game #727 on Jan. 22, the National Hockey League announced today.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and based on his average annual salary, Kovalchuk will forfeit $34,224.60. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
The incident took place at 19:24 of the first period and Kovalchuk was assessed a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct.
Kovalchuk will miss Thursday’s game at New York Rangers.
There had to be a suspension on that one because he left his skates on the hit. |
