Lucic Gets One-Game Suspension
Bruins forward Milan Lucic was given a one-game suspension by the NHL for his illegal hit on Zac Rinaldo during a game against the Flyers on Saturday.
He missed Monday's 3-2 win against the division-rival Canadiens.
NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan on Monday morning. Shanahan said Lucic's past incidents were taken into consideration.
"While this hit is not particularly egregious, it is illegal," said Shanahan. "However, the overriding factor in elevating this hit from behind from a penalty on the ice to a suspension is his history of similar infractions, warnings and a fine. We've taken into account that Rinaldo suffered no apparent injury as a result of this hit."
Rene Bourque Suspended Two Games
The NHL suspended Flames forward Rene Bourque on Monday two games without pay for his hit on Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook on Sunday at the United Center.
The league says Bourque will lose just over $36,000 for the hit he made at 15:25 of the first period. He got a five-minute major and a game misconduct on the play.
He will be able to return Friday at Vancouver.

Mark Fistric Suspended Three Games
Stars defenseman Mark Fistric has been suspended three games by the NHL for his hit on Islanders forward Nino Niederreiter in Saturday's game.

"We'll live by the suspension," said Dallas general manager Joe Nieuwendyk. "I think it's a very difficult job that Brendan Shanahan does and I respect the job that he is doing. We'll live with it."
The suspension will cost Fistric $16,216.23.
