Thing are somehow going from bad to worse for the hapless Ottawa Sentors, as defenseman Fredrik Claesson was suspended for two games, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Thursday.
Claesson was assessed a match penalty for his illegal check to the head of Boston Bruins forward Noel Acciari on Wednesday night. This is the first suspension of Claesson's career.
Through 31 games for Ottawa this season, the fifth-round draft pick has one goal and one assist.
