Winnipeg Jets forward Adam Lowry was suspended two games on Saturday for high-sticking Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.

Here's a look at the incident, which took place in the third period Friday:

Lowry received a two-minute minor for high-sticking on the play.

The decision marks the second suspension of the 25-year-old's career after serving a one-game ban for boarding in 2014.

Philadephia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas and Predators forward Ryan Johansen also received two-game suspensions for high-sticking infractions earlier this season.

It was a busy Saturday for department head George Parros and Co., as New Jersey Devils forward Kurtis Gabriel was suspended one game earlier in the day.
