The NHL suspended Ottawa Senators forward Austin Watson for two games on Sunday for interference on Boston Bruins defenseman Jack Ahcan.
The incident occurred midway through the first period of the Bruins’ 2-0 win in Ottawa on Saturday afternoon.
Watson received a two-minute penalty for interference after delivering a high hit to Ahcan, who had just cleared the puck behind the Boston net.
Watson, 30, has two goals, one assist and 55 penalty minutes in 31 games this season, his second with Ottawa. He has 90 points (41 goals, 49 assists) and 453 PIM in 371 games with the Nashville Predators and Senators.
The Senators’ next two games are Sunday against the host Washington Capitals and Tuesday at home against the St. Louis Blues.
