He will lose $2,590 in salary in the punishment handed out by the NHL on Thursday. He will be eligible to return Saturday against Minnesota.

Staubitz hit Drewiske on Tuesday after the defenseman had touched the puck for icing. Staubitz drew a minor penalty for charging.

    Cheap shot as Drewiske was already being checked by another player. The NHL probably needed consistency in their suspensions for a similar hit on Boll a few days ago. Staubitz ran like a pansy to the bench while Shelley attempted to do the dirty work for him. Hope Ivanans gets him the next game!

    This guy's a bonehead. Never learns. The Sharks need to be tough, not idiotic.

    Preferable to the beating he would have taken from Ivanans, if the King's goon hadn't been intercepted by Shelley.
