From TSN:
Ottawa Senators forward Jarkko Ruutu has been suspended two games, without pay by the NHL.
The NHL had a disciplinary hearing for Ruutu on Wednesday morning. The incident in question occurred during the third period of Tuesday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens. Ruutu delivered an elbow to the head of Maxim Lapierre.
Lapierre did not appear to suffer any injury on the play and Ruutu was assessed a two-minute minor for charging, but the infraction did violate at least two tenets of the NHL’s policy on hits to the head.

If only Lapierre had crumpled near the boards instead of the blue-line.
Laraque was headed over to show Ruutu how the arm works properly, but the 5’8 Bouillion got there first.
Next time, Jarkko. Big Georges can wait.
