The NHL has suspended Dallas Stars center Steve Ott for two games without pay for his hit on St. Blues defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo on Saturday night. At the second period, Colaiacovo had just passed his end when Ott low-bridged him, flipping the Blues defenseman into the air. He left the game with what the Blues called an upper-body injury.
Ott, who previously was suspended for one game on Feb. 28, now is considered a repeat offender under terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Besides, Ott forfeits $34,756.10 in salary, which is going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. Ott will miss the Stars' two home games this week, against Toronto and Florida. He will be eligible to return for Saturday's game in Nashville. Hope he will come back to the ice in the dallas stars jersey soon.
