It's not the longest suspension given for an illegal check to the head this season, but it's close. It's also no the first suspension for Dan Kelly or for the Albany Devils
In an announcement today, the AHL has suspended Dan Kelly of the Albany Devils for 10 games.
Kelly will miss Albany’s next 10 games, beginning with Game 5 of the North Division Finals vs. Toronto tonight (May 12). If Albany is eliminated before the suspension can be served to completion this postseason, remaining games would carry over to the next time Kelly is active on an AHL club roster.
