05/16/2012 19:06 Martin Hanzal suspended for Game 3
The NHL announced on Wednesday evening that Phoenix Coyotes forward Martin Hanzal has been suspended one game for boarding Dustin Brown on Tuesday night.
Hanzal, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Coyotes, only managed to play in 61 games last season, tallying 26 points (16 G, 10 A) to go along with a plus-4 rating and 54 PIMs. Despite playing in fewer games, it was the former first-round pick's best scoring season in his four-year career, though his assists dropped significantly. The 'Yotes are still looking to add some more pizazz to the center position, but it's not unreasonable to expect a 15-goal, 15-assist season with a few bonus sin bin minutes from Hanzal in 2011-12.
