Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg has been handed a three-game suspension for interference following a hit on New York Rangers winger Jimmy Vesey.
Midway through the second period of Saturday's contest, Forsberg hit Vesey behind the New York net after he played the puck. However, Forsberg was not whistled for interference on the play in question.
He hadn't been subject to supplemental discipline prior to Sunday.
After missing 11 games with an upper-body injury, Saturday was just the second game for Forsberg since returning to the lineup. His latest absence is a key loss for the Predators, as he sits second in team scoring with 38 points.
