Philadelphia Flyers D Brandon Manning suspended 2 games

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning has been suspended two games for a late hit on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel, the NHL announced Monday.

The incident occurred at 3:26 of the second period in the Penguins' 4-2 victory over the Flyers at Heinz Field on Saturday in a Stadium Series game. There was no penalty called on the play.

A video released by the NHL's Department of Player Safety said Manning was suspended because he delivered a "high, forceful hit to Guentzel that makes substantial head contact."

Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement and, based on his average annual salary, Manning will forfeit $10,833.34. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
