New York Rangers forward Brendan Lemieux has been suspended by the NHL for the first two games of the team’s preliminary-round series against Carolina because of an illegal check that injured Colorado forward Joonas Donskoi in March.

Haha, those Lemieux's, when it comes to illegal checks, they just can't help themselves...well, except for Mario, he must have been adopted.

yes it is. I think I read somewhere that he was originally suspended two games.

So I think today’s announcement was more a clarification of two regular season games equates to two ‘play-in’ series games.

There was probably some speculation and hope on the Rangers part that the suspension would get reduced based on play in series games holding more value than regular season games.
