TORONTO, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- The NHL Tuesday suspended Dallas goaltender Marty Turco one game and Tampa Bay left wing Vaclav Prospal two games for incidents occurring in separate games.
Neither player will be paid during his suspension, with Turco losing $3,564.81, and Prospal forfeiting $17,222.22, which will go to the Players Emergency Assistance Fund.
While not receiving a penalty on the play, Turco high-sticked center Peter Forsberg during Monday's 1-1 tie with Colorado. He will miss Wednesday's contest against Columbus.
Turco, who inherited the Stars' starting goaltending job this season, stopped 34 shots in Monday's deadlock, including 25 over the final 45 minutes of play.
Turco, 27, selected to participate in his first All-Star Game this season, leads all starting goalies with a 1.78 goals-against average and .932 save percentage while standing among the league leaders with 21 wins and five shutouts.
After collecting a goal and three assists in Tampa Bay's 6-2 triumph over Ottawa, Prospal cross-checked the Senators' Chris Neil with 3:03 remaining in the third period, receiving a major penalty and game misconduct.
Prospal will miss the Lightning's contest with Montreal on Wednesday and Friday's matchup with Dallas.
In his second season with Tampa Bay, Prospal, 27, is tied with Martin St. Louis for the team lead in scoring with 10 goals and 36 assists in 47 games.
