Two Tucson Roadrunners players have been suspended by the American Hockey League’s Player Safety Committee, following two separate incidents in Saturday night’s contest between the Arizona Coyotes affiliate and the San Jose Barracuda, affiliate of the San Jose Sharks.
Forward Bokondji Imama has been suspended four games for boarding Barracuda defender Artemi Kniazev. Curtis Pashelka of The Mercury News reported earlier today that Kniazev was shaken up by the incident, but x-rays on the 21-year-old came back negative. Imama will not be eligible to play through Dec. 13, when the Roadrunners face the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
