For his actions in last night's Rangers-Islanders game, Islanders forward Chris Simon was suspended indefinitely today by the NHL. In the 3rd period of the game, a Rangers victory, Simon was checked cleanly into the boards by Hollweg. After recovering, Simon used his stick on Hollweg to retaliate - hitting Hollweg on the chin and knocking the Rangers center to the ice. After the hit, Hollweg laid motionless on the ice. He would later receive stitches and is expected to play tomorrow.
The Islanders controlled the game for most of the first two periods and took a 1-0 lead off of a goal by Simon. But, the Rangers rallied and the newest Ranger, Paul Mara, scored off of the power play to tie the game at one.
