OTTAWA Colorado Avalanche Hoodies Womens , Ontario (AP) The Ottawa Senators knew Alex Burrows was facing a suspension. Ten games caught them by surprise.The NHL department of Player Safety handed Burrows a 10-game suspension Wednesday night for kneeing New Jersey’s Taylor Hall on Tuesday night in a home victory.”We disagree, but we respect the league’s process and decision,” Senators coach Guy Boucher said Thursday.Hall caught Burrows with a hard check and Burrows replied by chasing down the Devils forward before punching and kneeing him in the helmet. He will forfeit $134,409 of his salary.”For the sole purpose of retribution, Burrows drags an unwilling opponent to the ice. Punches him several times, then uses his knee pad to violently inflict more punishment on his opponent’s head. This is a dangerous and unjustifiable attack,” NHL Player Safety said in a statement.Senators teammate Mark Stone called the suspension ”a bit harsh.””Obviously Colorado Avalanche Hats Womens , it’s a suspendable play, but 10 games seems a bit harsh especially considering he doesn’t really have as much of a history as people may think,” Stone saidBurrows has been suspended once and fined five times over 893 career games.Hall, speaking to reporters in New Jersey Thursday, wasn’t surprised by the length of Burrows’ suspension.”I think in instances like that where it’s not really a hockey play, you like to see the league standing up for you there,” said Hall. ”The reason it’s so high is they just want to exterminate it. They don’t want to see it again.”Burrows did not speak to the media after Ottawa’s morning skate Thursday. He has 48 hours to appeal the ruling.”We’re going to miss (Burrows) Custom Colorado Avalanche Jerseys , he’s a great leader in this locker-room, good veteran guy and a guy that everyone really likes,” Matt Duchene said. ”He’s a guy that we rely on for his character and his grit so we’re going to miss him while he’s out.” RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes found their offense against the Philadelphia Flyers.Limited to a goal in four of their last five games and coming off a shutout loss on the weekend, the Hurricanes scratched out a 3-1 win over Philadelphia on Monday night for their second victory in six games.Lucas Wallmark, Jordan Martinook and Andrei Svechnikov scored and goalie Curtis McElhinney stopped 22 shots in the win.Goals have been scarce for Carolina, which had scored a total of seven in the previous five games.“We’ve been struggling to score and sometimes you need one to get you jump-started www.bluejacketsshoponline.com ,” Martinook said.Jakub Voracek scored for Philadelphia, which lost for the third time in four games and fell to 3-3-1 under interim coach Scott Gordon. Carter Hart started in the nets for the Flyers, but allowed three goals on 10 shots and was replaced by Michal Neuvirth, who stopped all 23 shots he faced.Wallmark got it going for the Hurricanes at 10:47 in the first period. He took a long shot from the high slot that found the upper left corner of the net.Wallmark, who hadn’t scored in 10 games, said he was just trying to get the puck on net and use a screen by a Philadelphia defender on the rookie Hart.“Everyone wants to score,” said Wallmark Columbus Blue Jackets T-Shirts Womens , who has three goals this season. “When you don’t, it’s not fun. Somehow we have to keep doing all of the small things right.”Martinook turned a small hunch into a big goal. Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux won the opening faceoff of the second period, but the Carolina left wing was able to steal the puck. He got into the Philadelphia zone and beat Hart to the glove side for a 2-0 lead just 6 seconds into the period.“They’re certainly not thinking that’s going to happen,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “Nobody is. Maybe he caught them sleeping a little bit. That was a big turning point in the game.”McElhinney made the 2-0 lead stand with his toughest save of the night on a 2-on-1 chance by the Flyers. Center Scott Laughton had a clean look at 2:05 in the second period but McElhinney slid over and stopped the shot.The Hurricanes turned the rebound into a transition opportunity and Svechnikov got free to beat Hart at 2:19 for the 3-0 lead.The power play has been a season-long problem for the Flyers, who were 0 for 2 on Monday and rank last in the NHL with the man-advantage.Voracek scored Philadelphia’s only goal at 2:38 in the third period. McElhinney was up to the task the rest of the way with 10 saves in the final period.“I think we’re just trying to get something moving, obviously it has been tough to get goals,” McElhinney said. “To put a few in there right away Columbus Blue Jackets Hoodies Womens , and get on them in the second, it helped everybody’s confidence.”NOTES: Philadelphia center Jori Lehtera was a healthy scratch for the seventh straight game. Lehtera is under investigation for his involvement in a drug ring in his native Finland.
