Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary has been handed a two-game suspension due to an elbowing incident involving Vancouver Canucks defenseman Elias Pettersson. This occurred during the first period of the Canucks' 4-3 shootout victory over the Flames. Following a hit on teammate Nazem Kadri by Pettersson, Zary retaliated with a high elbow to Pettersson's head, leading to his suspension by the NHL.

Pettersson was able to continue for one more shift before leaving the game, but details regarding any injury have not been disclosed. Zary's suspension will cost him $8,993.06 in salary, and he will be eligible to return on Tuesday when the Flames face the New York Rangers.
