Coyotes forward Archibald suspended for two-games

Arizona Coyotes forward Josh Archibald was suspended for two games without pay for delivering an illegal check to the head of Nashville Predators forward Ryan Hartman, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Friday.

The suspension will cost the 26-year-old Archibald $7,258.

Archibald received a minor penalty on the play in which he smacked his shoulder into Hartman's head during Thursday's game. Hartman, who was stationed near the boards, had passed the puck prior to the hit.

The Coyotes won the contest 2-1.
