Blackhawks’ Frank Nazar suspended two game for cheap shot on NY Islanders Bo Horvat

Chicago Blackhawks forward Frank Nazar has been suspended for two games without pay for an illegal check to the head of New York Islanders center Bo Horvat. The incident occurred with 1:35 remaining in the Islanders' 4-1 victory on Thursday at UBS Arena, resulting in a match penalty for Nazar. Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Nazar will forfeit $68,041 of his salary.\n\nHorvat scored twice during the contest before sustaining the hit and is currently being evaluated. Head coach Pete DeBoer provided no immediate clarity on Horvat's status or availability following Friday's optional skate, raising injury concerns for an Islanders squad that has already lost defenseman Alexander Romanov for the season.
