Anaheim Ducks Could Be Without Antoine Vermette
The Anaheim Ducks will not be able to dress Antoine Vermette after his slash on linesman Shandor Alphonso.
Or so it seems.
As TSN’s Bob McKenzie highlighted the league rules, Vermette is automatically suspended for 10 games.

He did not skate with the team for practice today. There is also a possibility that Vermette will appeal the charges.
He appeared frustrated with Alphonso after losing a face-off to Mikko Koivu.
