Ducks' Cogliano suspended 2 games for hit on Kings' Kempe

Anaheim Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano was handed a two-game suspension Sunday for his hit on Los Angles Kings forward Adrian Kempe, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.

Cogliano caught Kempe with a hit to the head in the first period Saturday night and was assessed a two-minute minor for interference, as the puck had clearly left Kempe's possession when Cogliano laid the high hit.

Here is the play in question:

This will be the first time that Cogliano has faced any kind of supplemental discipline in his 11-year career, and the suspension will end his consecutive games played streak at 830 - the fourth-longest iron man streak in NHL history.

The longest active consecutive games played streak now belongs to Florida Panthers rearguard Keith Yandle (676).
