NEW YORK, Dec 22: Los Angeles Kings center Adam Mair was handed an automatic 10-game suspension by the NHL on Friday for leaving the bench to join in a punch-up during the game against the Ottawa Senators.
The Kings were also fined $10,000 as a result of Mair’s actions, which occurred during the fight-filled second period of Los Angeles’s 4-2 victory at Ottawa Thursday.
The teams combined for 252 penalty minutes, including 195 in a second period that saw goaltenders Felix Potvin and Jani Hurme pick up game misconducts.
Based on his $475,000 salary, Mair will forfeit $25,086.
