OTTAWA -- Anaheim defenseman Chris Pronger received a one-game suspension Sunday for his hit to the head of Ottawa forward Dean McAmmond in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.
Pronger, also given a one-game ban during the Western Conference finals, leveled McAmmond with a forearm Saturday night in the Ducks' 5-3 loss to the Senators. He will miss tonight's Game 4 of the series, that Anaheim leads 2-1. He is eligible to return for Game 5 back in Anaheim on Wednesday.
It is the sixth career NHL suspension for the 6-foot-6, 220-pound, hard-hitting All-Star.
