Red Wings Forward Gets Multi-Game Suspension After Dirty Play On a Veteran

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen has been suspended for two games after high sticking Boston Bruins forward David Krecji.

Here is the play that earned the suspension:

This game was full of dangerous plays, including an elbow to Rasmussen's teammate Joe Veleno minutes prior to his high-stick.
