Maple Leafs LW Hollweg suspended two games

Oct 6, 2008 - 10:04 PM TORONTO (Ticker) -- Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Ryan Hollweg will miss the start of the season after receiving a two-game suspension Monday.

The penalty, which was automatically assessed without pay, stems from his third game misconduct in a 41-game span.

Hollweg's third game misconduct came during Wednesday's 7-3 preseason loss to the St. Louis Blues when he was called for a boarding major.

Last season with the New York Rangers, Hollweg received checking from behind majors and game misconducts on January 5 against the Edmonton Oilers and February 3 against the Montreal Canadiens.

Hollweg, who forfeits $5,510.76 in salary, had two goals and two assists with 96 penalty minutes over 70 games in 2007-08.
