NHL suspends Habs’ White five games

The NHL has suspended Montreal Canadiens forward Ryan White for five games for an illegal check to the head of Philadelphia defenceman Kent Huskins. The incident occurred at 6: 11 of the first period of Montreal’s 7- 3 loss to the Flyers on Monday. White attempted to deliver an open- ice hit as Huskins came out from behind the Philadelphia net, but White missed his body and hit him in the head. White will forfeit $ 18,581.10 in salary.
