TWO-MATCH BAN FOR MYLES MCGURTY

The Nottingham Panthers defenceman Myles McGurty has been suspended for two matches by the Elite League's Department of Player Safety.

McGurty was penalised during Sunday's game with Coventry Blaze with a Major and Game Misconduct for Kneeing on Blaze’s Aidan Spellacy.

The Elite League's statement said: "Spellacy collects the puck in the neutral zone and is skating towards his offensive zone.

"As he attempts to enter the zone, McGurty lines him up for a body check at the blueline.

"Sensing pressure, Spellacy shifts to his right attempting to avoid the contact.

"Now at risk of missing the hit, McGurty adjusts his body, jutting his knee forward and into Spellacy, recklessly causing a leg on leg collison. This is Kneeing."
