Joe Thornton of the Sharks was suspended two games by the NHL on Friday for his hit to the head of Blues center David Perron, according to an ESPN.com report. Thornton will miss the Sharks' games against the Lightning on Saturday and Ducks on Tuesday and is eligible to return Thursday against the Islanders. He will forfeit $77,419.36 in salary, with the money going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. Thornton said he was surprised at the two-game suspension.
