Ottawa Senators forward Austin Watson has been suspended two games for interference on Boston Bruins defenceman Jack Ahcan, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced on Sunday.
The incident occurred at 8:07 of the first period in the Senators’ 2-0 loss to the Bruins on Saturday. Watson hit Ahcan up high after clearing the puck from the corner and was assessed a two-minute minor penalty for interference.
Watson, 30, has two goals and one assist in 30 games for Ottawa this season.
The Senators are back in action on Sunday afternoon against the Washington Capitals.
