Calgary Flames' Andrew Mangiapane Suspended for One Game for Cross-Checking Seattle Kraken's Jared McCann

Mangiapane, who was handed a match penalty after striking McCann’s neck and upper back during the Flames' 6-3 victory, is to miss the Flames’ next game at home against the Nashville Predators and will lose $30,208 due to suspension.

• Andrew Mangiapane, Calgary Flames forward, has been suspended for one game following a cross-checking incident against Jared McCann of Seattle Kraken during their recent game.
• Mangiapane, who had already been given a five-minute major penalty, was handed a match penalty. He does not have a history of prior disciplinary issues.
• The cross-checking incident occurred when McCann blocked Mangiapane’s shot and fell on the puck; Mangiapane then hit McCann's neck and upper back, causing McCann's head to hit the ice. Despite initially leaving the field, McCann returned to finish the game.
• Mangiapane's suspension means he'll be missing the Flames' next game against the Nashville Predators, and he will also lose $30,208 due to the suspension.
• Mangiapane is the second Flames player suspended this season, following Rasmus Andersson who received a four-game suspension for charging Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine.
