The NHL announced that Phoenix Coyotes defenseman Ed Jovanovski has been suspended for two games without pay, for hitting New York Islanders center John Tavares. With 17 seconds remaining in the first period of a game, Jovanovski delivered an elbow to Tavares' head and was assessed a major penalty for elbowing and a game misconduct.
Jovanovski now is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. He will forfeit a lot in salary based on the number of games in a season, rather than the number of days. The money goes to the Players’Emergency Assistance Fund. Jovanovski will miss Coyotes' games against San Jose and New Jersey. He will be eligible to return Saturday against Minnesota Wild in the coyotes jersey.
