Mark Giordano Suspended For Two Games

December 7, 2018 at 6:17 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 5 Comments

The Department of Player Safety announced that Flames defenseman Mark Giordano has received a two-game suspension from a kneeing incident involving Minnesota center Mikko Koivu on Thursday night.  In addition, the league also revealed that winger Ryan Lomberg has also been suspended one additional game on top of the automatic one-game suspension he received for instigating a fight in the final five minutes of that same contest.

Koivu sustained an injury on the play which may have factored into the league’s decision.  The team announced (Twitter link) that Koivu will not play tonight in Edmonton and has been sent home by the team for further evaluation.  There is no timetable for his return and his loss will certainly be felt as he sits tied for third on the Wild in scoring with 21 points in 27 games.

Both players will miss Calgary’s games against Edmonton and Nashville this weekend and will be eligible to return on Wednesday against Philadelphia.  They’re both first-time offenders so they will forfeit 2/186 of their respective cap hits.  As a result, the suspension will cost Giordano just over $72K while Lomberg loses a little under $8K.

    But Dumba doesn’t get anything, not even a penalty, for leaving his feet to deliver a high hit

      You’re delusional.

        Agreed. His arms were tucked and I don’t know if he did leave his feet before contact.

        His feet are clearly off the ice when he delivers the hit. That’s a charging penalty. If that is called, the ensuing fight likely doesn’t happen. I don’t have an issue with Lomberg’s penalties, but I do have an issue with Dumba not getting a penalty.

    It’s about time. This isn’t the first kneeing incident Giordano has been a part of.
