The NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Sunday that Washington Capitals defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk received a two-game suspension for charging Los Angeles Kings defenseman Kevin Gravel during the Capitals' 4-2 loss Saturday night.
Shattenkirk wasn't on the ice for Washington's 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday and will be out Tuesday night against the Minnesota Wild.
The AP's Stephen Whyno reported the 28-year-old was also docked $47,222.22 from his salary since he's a first-time offender.
The infraction came with a little over four minutes remaining in Saturday's game.
