Nashville Predators: Austin Watson Suspended Two Games

The Nashville Predators will be without their responsible two-way winger on Monday and Wednesday this week. The DOPS spun the wheel of justice and landed on two games for Austin Watson.

A key factor in the decision was that Watson has no prior suspensions to his name. Another hit like this will most likely result in a five-game or more suspension.
