On Saturday night, the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> and the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> met in the freeway faceoff. While the Ducks got a 4-2 win, the final score of the\u00a0game is not the whole story. Andrew Cogliano<\/a><\/strong>, a\u00a0right wing for the Ducks, took an interference penalty at 16:19 of the first period. He was given a minor penalty on the play. However, the NHL Department of Player Safety has determined that further punishment is necessary. On Sunday night, the league announced that Cogliano is suspended\u00a0for two games due to his hit on Adrian Kempe<\/a><\/strong> of the Kings.<\/p>\n

This was the first time in his career that Cogliano has had a hearing with player safety. He also does not have a reputation for dirty play.<\/p>\n

Anaheim Ducks Andrew Cogliano faces a suspension<\/h1>\n

Saturday night’s game got off to a fast start with three separate fights breaking out in a matter of four seconds of game time. The Cogliano minor was the first one-sided penalty of the game, and the Kings failed to convert the power play. The Ducks eventually won the game by a score of 4- 2.<\/p>\n

Cogliano, who has been in the news recently as he signed a three-year extension<\/a> with the Ducks earlier in the week. He is also the NH’s resident ironman. The win against LA marked his 830th consecutive game and he has never missed a game in his career. Unfortunately, this suspension means that his streak is now broken.<\/p>\n

This season, Cogliano has put up 5 goals and 13 assists for 18 points, adding 27 penalty minutes. In his career, he has put up 149 goals and 202 assists for 351 career points with 279 penalty minutes. He has played with the Ducks and Edmonton Oilers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
