Minnesota Wild forward Mason Shaw received a two-game suspension Friday for kneeing Evgeny Svechnikov of the San Jose Sharks.
The incident occurred Thursday during the second period of the Sharks’ 5-2 win over the Wild.
Shaw was given a major penalty for kneeing plus a game misconduct. Svechnikov returned to the ice for the third period.
“That’s my last intent is to take someone’s knee out,” Shaw told reporters after the game. “I feel bad because that put our team in a very bad spot, and ultimately, it was a difference in the game, so I’m disappointed in myself.”
Svechnikov said: “It happened quick. I just started getting my head up, and I saw the guy. I didn’t know where he was going to go. Unfortunately, not where I wanted. What can I say? It’s tough, and it sucks.”
Following the holiday break, the Wild (19-12-2) next play host to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday then visit the Dallas Stars on Thursday.
