Washington Capitals forward
Donald Brashear was suspended for a total of six games by the National Hockey League for two separate incidents in Game 6 against the New York Rangers.
Brashear had a hearing on Monday to discuss his exchange with New York's
Colton Orr in the warm-up prior to the game and his late hit on Rangers forward
Blair Betts in the first period. Brashear got one game for the incident with Orr and five additional games for his hit on Betts.
The Rangers announced on Monday that Betts suffered a broken orbital bone as a result of the hit and is out indefinitely.
