 Chicago Blackhawks forward Daniel Carcillo has been suspended for six games, without pay, for cross-checking Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault during NHL Game No. 658 in Chicago on Friday, January 16, the National Hockey League’s Department of Player Safety announced today.

The incident occurred at 19:50 of the second period. Carcillo was assessed a minor penalty for cross-checking.

Carcillo is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, based on his average annual salary, will forfeit $40,243.92. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

As Carcillo sat out Chicago's game Sunday night while awaiting his hearing, his suspension will remain in effect through the Blackhawks' next five games.

He can return Feb.3 against Minny, and CHI next game is the 6th at WPG. Tony P, be ready.

I'm not disappointed, but I am surprised.

 

For years the NHL has paid lip service (at best) in trying to remove parts of the game that really don't belong.  A few more rulings like this one and some of the others we've seen this year and I might finally believe them.

From Rotoworld: 

 

Mathieu Perreault is expected to be out until at least after the Jan. 25th All-Star game with an undisclosed upper body injury.

He'll be replaced by TJ Galiardi on Sunday night against Arizona. Galiardi does not have any fantasy value to speak of.

 

 

LOL on the Galiardi comment.  But so true.  Big step down from Perrault to Galiardi.
