Detroit Red Wings defenceman Kyle Quincey has been suspended for one game by the NHL for charging Florida Panthers forward Tomas Kopecky on Sunday.
The one game ban will result in Quincy forfeiting one game’s salary ($16,891.89) that will be allocated to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
The incident occurred late in the third period of Sunday’s game. A major penalty and game misconduct for elbowing were assessed on the play.
