Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- The National Hockey league announced Tuesday that New York Rangers defenseman Dale Purinton was suspended 10 games for a recent eye gouging incident.
Purinton was penalized for an altercation with Boston's Colton Orr during a preseason game on Oct. 1.
"Purinton's actions were deliberate and dangerous," said NHL Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. "In reaching this decision, it is also noted that Purinton has been suspended on three previous occasions by the league for deliberate attempts to injure an opponent."
The 6-foot-3, 226-pound defenseman will not receive pay during his suspension, costing him $26,658.20 in salary, and will be eligible to return on Oct. 27 against the New York Islanders.
