Senators LW Ruutu suspended two games

Nov 13, 2008 - 12:02 AM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- The NHL on Wednesday fined Ottawa Senators left wing Jarkko Ruutu two games for an incident in Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Ruutu was hit with a charging penalty at 2:05 of the third period, when he caught Montreal's Maxim Lapierre with an elbow.

That precipitated a fight between Ruutu and defenseman Francis Bouillon, who each drew five-minute majors. Ruutu later was hit with a game misconduct.

Ruutu will sit out a home-and-home series against the New York Islanders on Thursday and Saturday. He can return for Monday's game at the New York Rangers.
