New York Rangers defenseman John Moore was suspended two games for his third-period hit on Montreal Canadiens forward Dale Weise in the Habs' 7-4 win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night.
The league announced the suspension Wednesday evening after Moore's hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety earlier in the day.
The incident, which appeared to leave Weise disoriented, occurred at 10:41 of the third period of Tuesday's game. Moore, a first-time offender, was assessed a match penalty for an illegal check to the head.
The 23-year-old defenseman will not be eligible to return unless the Rangers advance to the Stanley Cup finals.
