Columbus Blue Jackets winger Matt Calvert has been suspended one game for cross-checking Tom Kuhnhackl of the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference playoff series.
Calvert's suspension was announced by the NHL's department of player safety on Twitter.
The incident occurred in the final minute of Pittsburgh's 4-1 victory in Game 2 on Friday.
Calvert broke his stick across Kuhnhackl's back on a cross-check and came back for a second check immediately as Kuhnhackl was doubled over trying to gather himself.
The Penguins lead the series 2-0 with Game 3 in Columbus on Sunday.
