New York, NY (Sports Network) - The National Hockey League suspended
Vancouver defenseman Alexander Edler for two games without pay on Friday.
The penalty stems from a charging incident in Thursday's game against Phoenix
when Edler was assessed a five-minute major for a charge on Phoenix goaltender
Mike Smith.
The incident occurred at the 18:17 mark of the second period of the Canucks'
2-1 victory.
Edler will forfeit $35,135.14 for the ban and will miss games in Los Angeles
and Colorado before being eligible to play at home against Columbus on
Tuesday.
On the season, he has five goals and 12 assists in 30 games.
