Stars defenseman Mark Fistric has been suspended three games by the NHL for his hit on Islanders forward Nino Niederreiter in Saturday's game. NHL senior vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan said the hit was a violation of rule 42.1 (charging) and resulted in an injury to Niederreiter, who is out with a concussion. "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.
