Wednesday game preview

Looking for some morning reading? Here’s the game preview for tonight’s Kings-Sharks contest, courtesy of NHL.com.

Also, word came down this morning that Phoenix defenseman Ed Jovanovski has been suspended for two games, meaning he will miss Thursday’s game against the Kings. Jovanovski “delivered a forearm to the head area of Minnesota’s Andrew Ebbett,” according to the league.

Finally, some of you might already have seen this, but Dan Cloutier’s AHL debut didn’t even last one game. Cloutier, signed by the Rockford IceHogs, got a match penalty after he apparently punched Manitoba’s Guillaume Desbiens with his blocker. Cloutier also got a one-game suspension.
