Flames forward Connor Zary suspended 2 games for elbowing Canucks defenseman Elias Pettersson

NEW YORK — Calgary forward Connor Zary has been suspended two games without pay for elbowing Vancouver defenseman Elias Pettersson during the Canucks' 4-3 shootout victory over the Flames. Zary was assessed a minor penalty for interference on the play at 11:19 of the first period Wednesday night. The suspension will cost the 23-year-old Zary $8,993 in salary. Pettersson knocked Nazem Kadri off his skates just as Kadri unloaded the puck and crossed the blue line. Zary retaliated with a blindside hit that led to the penalty.
