The National Hockey League has suspended Minnesota Wild winger Pierre-Marc Bouchard for two games due to a stick infraction during last night's 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Bouchard will miss Monday afternoon's game against the New York Islanders, and Tuesday night's contest in Ottawa.
Bouchard will miss the next two games due to a "bad accident". Last season he fully recovered from concussion-like symptoms, to post 12 goals and 38 points through 59 games. Expect him to improve on those tallies with Guillaume Latendresse on his line all year.
