Lowry received a two-minute minor for high-sticking on the play.
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin was suspended one game earlier this month for a similar incident, though he never made contact with the opponent's head.
Philadephia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas received a two-game suspension for a high stick on Nikita Kucherov earlier this season.
