Radko Gudas will miss the next 10 games after the NHL announced a suspension for an illegal hit on Mathieu Perreault of the Winnipeg Jets.
During Thursday's game, the Philadelphia Flyers defenseman slashed Perreault in the back of the head, earning a game misconduct in the process. The Jets went on to earn a 3-2 win.
Perreault picked up a high-sticking penalty for knocking off Gudas' helmet, although the response clearly was excessive.
The 27-year-old is in his third year with the Flyers after playing with the Tampa Bay Lightning in his first three seasons.
