ST. PAUL, Minn., March 6 (UPI) -- Minnesota Wild forward Derek Boogaard has drawn a two-game suspension for a kneeing incident in Edmonton, league officials said Saturday.
The National Hockey League levied the penalty after Boogaard was called for a kneeing minor penalty in the first period of Friday's Wild-Oilers contest after colliding with Edmonton's Jones.

The suspension was Boogaard's second this year -- he was suspended for five games without pay for an elbow to the head of Calgary's Brandon Prust on Feb. 28 -- and so is eligible as a repeat offender for a $20,000 penalty.
With the suspension, Boogaard is eligible to return to the Wild March 11 against Detroit.
