New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Dallas Stars left wing Ryan Garbutt has been suspended five games by the NHL for charging Anaheim forward Dustin Penner in Sunday’s matchup against the Ducks.<\/p>\n
Shortly after exiting the penalty box, Garbutt left his feet to deliver a high hit to the head area of Penner after the Anaheim wing was releasing a shot. He was not penalized for the incident, which occurred during the second period of the Stars’ 6-3 loss to the Ducks.<\/p>\n
Penner was helped to the dressing room and did not return to the game. He sat out Anaheim’s contest at Toronto on Tuesday as well.<\/p>\n
Garbutt, who has no prior history of supplemental discipline, will begin his suspension when the Stars host Calgary on Thursday. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return for a Nov. 3 game at Ottawa.<\/p>\n
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Garbutt will forfeit $14,743.60 in salary that will go to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
