Lowry received a two-minute minor for high-sticking on the play.
The decision marks the second suspension of the 25-year-old's career after serving a one-game ban for boarding in 2014.
Philadephia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas and Predators forward Ryan Johansen also received two-game suspensions for high-sticking infractions earlier this season.
It was a busy Saturday for department head George Parros and Co., as New Jersey Devils forward Kurtis Gabriel was suspended one game earlier in the day.
