NHL News: Washington Capitals Alex Ovechkin Suspended for Hit on Chicago Blackhawks Defenseman Brian Campbell

For the second time this season Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin has been suspended, landing a two-game ban after a boarding hit he placed on Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brian Campbell during Monday night’s game.

Ovechkin, a two-time MVP in the NHL, will have to forfeit nearly $230,000 in salary for the suspension as he missed Washington’s upcoming games against Florida on Tuesday and Carolina on Thursday.

Earlier this year Ovechkin was handed a two-game suspension and the hit on Monday night made the 24-year-old a repeat offender.

The hit in question involved Ovechkin pushing Campbell from behind into the boards. As a result Campbell suffered a broken clavicle and a broken rib. It remains to be seen if Campbell will return this season and if he doesn’t it could be a serious blow to Chicago’s hopes for a Stanley Cup title.
