Devils' Timo Meier Suspended One Game for Cross-Check Incident

The NHL issued the suspension after Meier's cross-check against Zachary L'Heureux caused injury during Monday's game.

Timo Meier, forward for the New Jersey Devils, has been suspended for one game by the NHL following a cross-checking incident during a game against the Nashville Predators on Monday night.
The incident occurred in the third period when Meier cross-checked Nashville's Zachary L'Heureux twice, with the second hit drawing blood and forcing L'Heureux to leave the game.
Meier was penalized with a five-minute major and a game misconduct during the match, which the Devils won 5-2.
The suspension will result in Meier forfeiting $45,833.33 in salary, with the funds directed to the NHL Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
Meier will serve his suspension during Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Blues, missing a key matchup for the Devils.
