Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi received a two-game suspension for his "unsportsmanlike conduct and roughing" on Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Calvert, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced on Monday.
In a 2-0 loss on Sunday night, Bertuzzi and other Red Wings players grabbed Calvert's stick while sitting on the bench. Bertuzzi punched Calvert in the head as he was trying to get his stick back.
The Department of Player Safety determined that a two-game suspension was fitting due to the nature of unsportsmanlike conduct and roughing, and Bertuzzi's clean history of conduct.
No penalty was given for the punch and Calvert remained in the game.
Bertuzzi has nine goals and 16 points this season, which are both tied for the third most on the Red Wings. He will miss their games against division rivals Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
