    Dmitry Kulikov suspended 2 games for hit on Lightning's Conor Sheary

    Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov received a two-game suspension for an illegal hit to the head of Lightning forward Conor Sheary during Tampa Bay's 5-3 win Saturday in Sunrise. The Lightning were leading 4-0 with less than four minutes remaining in the second period when players from both teams battled in front of the Tampa Bay net. Sheary was looking down trying to gain possession of the puck when Kulikov skated by, running his right elbow into Sheary's head and knocking him to the ice. The puck rolled into the slot, where Florida defenseman Josh Mahura beat goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy with a shot through traffic.
