Isles assistant suspended 2 games

Posted March 08, 2013 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Marian Gaborik,  Michael Del Zotto
TEAMS: New York Rangers
Islanders assistant coach Brent Thompson was given a two-game suspension by the NHL on Friday for abusive comments he made following New York's overtime loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday night. Thompson was assessed a game misconduct after the Rangers beat the Islanders with a power-play goal by Marian Gaborik. The NHL said in a statement that Thompson will miss the next two games because of ''inappropriate and abusive comments'' he directed at on-ice officials. The Rangers received the only three power plays in the game and converted on the last one seconds after a penalty was called when defenseman Michael Del Zotto was hauled down as he drove to the net. Thompson will miss a home game against Washington on Saturday and a game at Pittsburgh on Sunday.
