Flyers' John Tortorella Suspended 2 Games After Viral Video of Ejection vs. Lightning

The Philadelphia Flyers will be without head coach John Tortorella for the next two games.

The NHL announced the coach was suspended two games and fined $50,000 for yelling at an official and refusing to leave the bench area during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning:

There was surely some frustration in place, as Tampa Bay cruised to a dominant 7-0 victory.

The Flyers are now 4-5-2 in their last 11 games and hanging onto third place in the Metropolitan Division with 74 points on the season.
