Capitals star Alex Ovechkin was suspended for two games without pay by the NHL on Tuesday for a knee-to-knee hit on defenseman Tim Gleason in Monday night?s win over the Hurricanes, as reported by the Associated Press. Ovechkin?s first suspension will cost him $98,844.16 in salary. He?ll sit out Thursday against Florida and Saturday at Philadelphia, although his sore knee might have kept him out of one of the games anyway.
