Ducks captain Chris Pronger was suspended for eight games without pay by the NHL for stomping on Canucks forward Ryan Kesler's leg, according to an ESPN.com report. Pronger, noted as an aggressive defenseman who has been suspended seven times previously by the league, was accused of intentionally stepping on Kesler's left leg as the two jockeyed along the back boards early in the second period of Wednesday's game. The incident occurred after Pronger became entangled with Canucks forward Ryan Kesler, who had fallen to the ice. Kesler told the Vancouver Sun after the game, "He stomped on me ... He got me on the calf."
