Vancouver Canucks forward Jake Virtanen has been suspended two games for interference on San Jose Sharks defenseman Roman Polak.
The NHL's Department of Player Safety called the collision a "late, violent" hit and said Polak was "not eligible to be checked in any manner."
Virtanen, who was assessed an interference major and a game misconduct, acknowledged after the game that his hit was late.
This is his first NHL suspension, and he'll forfeit nearly $10,000 under the terms of the CBA.
