Bruins’ Pastrnak suspended two games for head hit on Rangers’ Girardi

Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak was suspended two games on Friday for an illegal check to the head of New York Rangers defenceman Dan Girardi.

Pastrnak delivered the hit in the second period of a 5-2 Bruins loss on Wednesday night and was assessed a minor penalty. Under the terms of the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement he will forfeit $10,277.78.

A first round pick in 2014 (25th overall), Pastrnak has been a revelation for the Bruins in his second season, already with five goals and eight points in seven games as the right wing on the club’s top line. 

He’ll be eligible to return to action on Nov. 3 when the Bruins visit the Tampa Bay Lightning.
