Peluso suspended three games for hit

-

Winnipeg forward Anthony Peluso was suspended for three games for boarding Stars defenceman Alex Goligoski in the Jets’ 6-4 loss to Dallas on Saturday night. Peluso drove his shoulder into Goligoski’s back after the Stars’ defenceman passed the puck up the ice and out of Dallas’s end. Goligoski went face first into the boards, cutting his face. “Goligoski makes no movements just prior to, or simultaneo­us with, this hit to turn his back to Peluso,” said an NHL spokesman. “Rather, Peluso sees Goligoski’s back for some time and distance before he delivers the check.
