Brendan Witt suspended five games
New York Islanders defenseman Brendan Witt has been suspended for five games, without pay, as a result of an elbowing incident during NHL game #910 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the National Hockey League announced today.
Brendan Shanahan made the move most people in the NHL expected him to late Tuesday night when he announced that Shane Doan was suspended for three games for his elbow to the head of Jamie Benn in Monday's Dallas Stars game against the Phoenix Coyotes.
