Canucks' Byron Bitz suspended 2 games for slamming Kings' Kyle Clifford into boards in Game 1

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Vancouver Canucks forward Byron Bitz was suspended for two games by NHL on Thursday for boarding Los Angeles Kings forward Kyle Clifford during Game 1 of their playoff series.

The hit happened at 12:12 of the second period Wednesday night, and Bitz was given a major penalty and a game misconduct. Clifford stayed on the bench for a while, then left the game and did not return.
