Pittsburgh Penguins forward Arron Asham has been suspended four games and  Penguins teammate James Neal has been suspended one game for separate infractions. Asham, who was offered an in-person hearing, was assessed a first-period match penalty for cross-checking Brayden Schenn around the chin and punching him in the head when Schenn was down.

Arron Asham‘s postseason may be over after an ugly cross-check to Brayden Schenn‘s throat. Asham received a 10 minute match penalty for deliberate intent to injure Schenn. It would be very surprising to see Asham play another time in the playoffs even if the Penguins make a series of this yet.
