John Quenneville will miss the next two games of the ZSC Lions in this season's Champions Hockey League after being suspended for a violation of the IIHF Rule 48, which prohibits check in the neck area. Moreover, he was also fined €1,400.

In the 30th minute of yesterday's game between the Lions and IFK Helsinki, Quenneville checked Otto Salin to the head for what was considered an avoidable and reckless action.
