North Stars’ Sych suspended four games, Bruins’ Rieger gets two
Today, the league handed down punishment to two players for separate instances in the North Star’s 10-3 win over Estevan on Saturday.
Connor Sych was suspended for four games for a hit to the head on Jake Fletcher in the third period, while Bruins defenceman Josh Rieger was given a two-game ban for his knee-on-knee hit to North Stars forward Logan Nachtegaele.
Both players received a five-minute major and game misconduct in the game.
Nachtegaele will be out of the North Stars lineup for roughly three weeks because of the collision with Rieger.
