Devils forward Miles Wood suspended two games for boarding

New Jersey Devils forward Miles Wood was suspended two games Sunday by the NHL's Department of Player Safety for boarding the Tampa Bay Lightning's Vladislav Namestnikov on Saturday night.

Wood was given a two-minute boarding penalty on the play in which he launched himself into Namestikov, sending the center's head into the glass, in the second period of the Devils' 4-3 victory. He also got a two-minute roughing minor when he bloodied Lightning defenseman Andrej Sustr, who came to the aid of his teammate. Sustr also received a two-minute roughing penalty.
