Daniel Carcillo suspended for game 2

Daniel Carcillo was suspended for one game and coach John Stevens was fined $10,000 by the NHL on Thursday, a day after Carcillo hit Pittsburgh’s Maxime Talbot in the head in the playoff opener.

With 7 seconds left in the third period in the Penguins’ 4-1 victory Wednesday night, Carcillo delivered a blow to Talbot’s head directly off a faceoff. Talbot wasn’t hurt and Carcillo was not penalized for the hit.

“We held a conference call Monday with the general managers and coaches of playoff teams and told them explicitly we would not tolerate attempts by clubs to ‘send a message’ late in a game when the outcome had been determined,” said Colin Campbell, the NHL’s senior executive vice president of hockey operations.

“Organizations—players and coaches—will be held accountable for such actions.”

Carcillo will miss Game 2 on Friday night in Pittsburgh. Sbisa will take his place
