Florida Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson has been handed a two-game suspension for interference and unsportsmanlike conduct on Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Monday.
The play occurred in Saturday's contest between the Panthers and Canucks. Matheson wasn't penalized following the incident.
On Monday, the Canucks confirmed that Pettersson has entered concussion protocol. A report later indicated that he could miss a minimum of seven-to-10 days.
Matheson is eligible to return Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings.
