Flyers defenseman Tony DeAngelo has been suspended two games and will forfeit a chunk of his annual salary for spearing the Lightning’s Corey Perry during a game Tuesday night.
The NHL has suspended
"As the goaltender freezes the puck for a whistle, Perry slashes down on the stick of DeAngelo as he passes through the net front," the league said in a video explanation of the decision. "What causes this play to rise to the level of suspension is the premeditated nature of the foul against another unsuspecting opponent well after the whistle, the area of the body where the spear was delivered, and the force of the blow."
