Cam Janssen Suspended Three Games
Saturday, Mar. 3rd, 2007
NEW YORK - New Jersey Devils forward Cam Janssen has been suspended three games, without pay, as a result of a late hit on Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Tomas Kaberle during the second period of last night's NHL game #968 in New Jersey.
"Supplemental discipline is appropriate for this incident because of the lateness of the hit," said Colin Campbell, NHL Senior Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations.
Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and based on his average salary, Janssen will forfeit $7,220.16. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
Janssen will miss Devil's games Mar.4 at home against Boston, Mar. 6 at Philadelphia and Mar. 8 at Pittsburgh. He'll be eligible to return Mar. 10 at Buffalo.
