Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu was suspended by the NHL on Wednesday for two games without pay for biting Sabres enforcer Andrew Peters. The NHL said Ruutu will lose $37,707 in pay and miss Ottawa's game at Boston on Thursday and a home game against the Rangers on Saturday. Ruutu denied he bit Peters despite replays showing he chomped down on the player's glove. "It's not really the thumb that's the issue, it's the incident that took place," Peters said. "It's weird to even think that that goes on in hockey. Even in my role, I would never think of doing something like that."
