Overview

• Connor Zary, 23, received a two-game suspension for elbowing Vancouver Canucks defenseman Elias Pettersson during a game on Wednesday.
• The incident occurred after Pettersson delivered a legal open-ice hit on Zary's teammate, Nazem Kadri, prompting Zary's retaliatory elbow to Pettersson's head.
• Zary was given a two-minute minor penalty for interference during the game, and the NHL Department of Player Safety later deemed the hit worthy of supplemental discipline.
• Pettersson, 21, briefly returned to the game but did not play beyond the first period; no injury updates have been provided by the Canucks.
• Zary will forfeit $8,993 in salary and is set to miss games against the Colorado Avalanche and Toronto Maple Leafs, returning Tuesday against the New York Rangers.
