The NHL suspended Matt Martin one game for kneeing Stars defenseman Trevor Daley during the first period of Tuesday’s game. He was assessed a kneeing major and game misconduct. He’ll forfeit $5,376.34 to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

It is well explained. Martin went to finish a check after Daley released the puck and saw him. He is allowed to but did stick the leg out injuring Daley. According to Dallas Morning News reporter Mike Heika, the veteran defenseman could be out a while.

The latest update had Dallas coach Lindy Ruff indicating that Daley could miss two weeks. While not intentional, Martin will serve a one-game suspension missing tomorrow’s Islanders game at Nashville.

    Two weeks eh? I almost dumped him in fantasy cause I figured it’d be for the season when they said weeks and with how far out Dallas was out. Ironically I picked up Gelinas to replace him on the roster 😛
