Detroit Red Wings' David Perron Suspended for Six Games

Perron's Suspension Follows Cross-Check on Ottawa's Artem Zub After Hit on Teammate Dylan Larkin

David Perron, forward for the Detroit Red Wings, has been suspended for six games by the NHL for cross-checking Ottawa Senators' defenseman Artem Zub.
The incident occurred in the aftermath of a hit on Dylan Larkin, Detroit's captain, by Ottawa's Mathieu Joseph, which left Larkin motionless on the ice.
The NHL stated that Perron's action was not a hockey play, but an intentional strike with a stick made with the purpose of exacting retribution on an opponent.
Perron will forfeit $148,437.48 during the suspension, which will go into the players’ emergency assistance fund.
Dylan Larkin has been placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury and will be unavailable for at least a week.
