The Chicago Blackhawks will be without Frank Nazar for two games following his suspension.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Frank Nazar has been suspended for two games by the NHL's Department of Player Safety. The discipline stems from an illegal check to the head against New York Islanders forward Bo Horvat during Thursday night's game, for which Nazar received a major penalty and game misconduct.
The league noted that the head was the main point of contact, but Nazar's clean disciplinary record kept the suspension to two games. Nazar will miss upcoming matchups against the Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins, further straining a Blackhawks lineup already missing Connor Bedard.
