With Minnesota Wild captain Mikko Koivu injured on a knee-on-knee hit, it only seems fair that the hitter was suspended. Also, suspended as a result of the increased physicality on the night was Ryan Lomberg, who instigated a fight with Matt Dumba after Dumba stepped up and crushed the Flames’ Mikael Granlund.
Ryan Lomberg, the fight instigator finds himself sitting out for a game, with a further game added after a hearing. All in all, two games for a line-change that was clearly made with every intention of instigating a fight.
