The National Hockey League has suspended Columbus Blue Jackets forward Matt Calvert for one playoff game for his brutal cross-check to Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tom Kuhnhackl late in the third period of Friday's Game 2.
With the Penguins en route to a 4-1 win and a 2-0 series lead over Columbus in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series Friday night, Calvert cross-checked an unsuspecting Kuhnhackl in the shoulder area near center ice, snapping his stick in two. Calvert then circled back and knocked Kuhnhackl to the ice with a forearm to the head.
