(Alanah here—I’m just posting this news for Bethany’s readers as she’s unable to access her computer right now.)
According to Nick Kypreos on Fan 590, Michael Peca’s suspension will be dropped to anywhere from 3-5 games, instead of the expected 10 games.
Update 3:57pm:
The official word from the NHL is in and the suspension will be for 5 games. He’s already served two games, so he’ll be eligible to play next on Friday, October 24th against the NYR. Peca will forfeit $35,349.46 of his salary to the Players’ Emergency Fund.
added 6:25pm by Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
“Once the suspension is in place, you’re going to get suspended no matter what, so I was just hoping for the minimum,” Peca told ESPN.com Friday. “In the end, the league saves face by not having a Category 2, and by lowering it to five games from 10, it looks like I won and everyone is happy. The referee is good because it wasn’t lowered to three. Politically, everybody is happy except probably myself.”
