Anaheim Ducks defenceman Chris Pronger has been suspended for one game by the National Hockey League.
Pronger received the suspension after Detroit forward Tomas Holmstrom was drilled into the boards Tuesday night in the Red Wings' 5-0 victory in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final. Holmstrom was cut after getting hit into the glass by Pronger and Anaheim forward Rob Niedermayer on the play in question.
Anaheim head coach Randy Carlyle says the Ducks will adjust without the Norris-Trophy nominated Pronger.
''He's a big part of our hockey club,'' said Carlyle. ''But we've had stretches through the season where he wasn't on our blue-line.
Niedermayer received a five minute boarding penalty and a game misconduct, but replays showed that that Pronger hit Holmstrom from behind with a high elbow to the head.
Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer was not impressed with the suspension.
Holmstrom required stitches in his forehead, but returned to action in the game. He had scored twice in the game before the hit.
