Ray Emery suspended 3 games

Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery will be suspended for the next 3 games for highsticking deliberatly Montreal Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre in the 5-3 Ottawa win over Montreal.

After Lapierre slid and collided accidently with Emery, the goaltender took his stick and hit Lapierre in the face deliberatly. Emery was signaled for only a 2 minute minor penalty by the referees, but the NHL officials reviewed the event and decided to pull the goalie for the next 3 games.
