Flyers' Gudas suspended 10 games

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas has been suspended 10 games for slashing Mathieu Perreault of the Winnipeg Jets in Thursday's game, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Sunday.

Gudas is considered a repeat offender under the NHL's collective bargaining agreement. His most recent ban came in October 2016, when he was suspended six games for an interference play involving Austin Czarnik of the Boston Bruins.

Gudas will forfeit $408,536.60 in salary as part of his 10-game suspension.

The 27-year-old missed Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames while he awaited his hearing. The contest will count toward his 10-game suspension. He's eligible to return Dec. 12 vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Gudas has recorded two assists and 57 penalty minutes in 17 games this season.
