Canadiens' Anderson suspended 2 games for boarding Pietrangelo

Montreal Canadiens forward Josh Anderson was suspended two games by the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo on Saturday.

Anderson received a five-minute major and a game misconduct on the play.

Pietrangelo, who also received a two-minute minor for his part in the skirmish, was bleeding from his nose but stayed in the game.

This marks the first time Anderson has been suspended in his nine-year NHL career. He's eligible to return to the lineup Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
