Maple Leafs forward Carter Ashton has been suspended 20 games for violating terms of the NHL/NHLPA's performance-enhancing drugs policy, the league announced Thursday.

Predators defenseman Anton Volchenkov has been suspended for four games by the NHL for an illegal check to the head of Flames forward Michael Ferland, according to an ESPN.com report on Sunday.
