Senators' Borowiecki, Stars' Oleksiak each get 2-game bans
NHL hands out suspensions for separate incidents
The NHL has suspended Ottawa Senators defenceman Mark Borowiecki two games for boarding Los Angeles forward Tyler Toffoli.
The incident occurred at 2:38 of the first period of the Kings' 4-1 win over Ottawa on Saturday in Los Angeles. Borowiecki hit Toffoli from behind and into the boards as Toffoli went to retrieve the puck in the Kings' zone.
Borowiecki was assessed a major penalty for boarding on the play. Toffoli returned to the game after leaving briefly after the hit.
Borowiecki, who had never been suspended before, will forfeit $12,222.22 US which will go to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
He will miss Ottawa's games Sunday in Anaheim and Wednesday at home against the Sharks.
He is eligible to return Saturday against the visiting New Jersey Devils.
Illegal hit on Flyers forward
Meanwhile, Dallas Stars defenceman Jamie Oleksiak has been suspended for two games for an illegal check to the head of Philadelphia Flyers forward Chris VandeVelde.
The play occurred in the third period of Dallas' 4-2 loss at Philadelphia on Saturday.
Based on his salary, Oleksiak forfeits $10,208.34 US.
