The NHL Department of Player Safety announced a two-game suspension for St. Louis forward Sammy Blais on Thursday night for an illegal check to the head of Colorado's Devon Toews.

During the first period of Wednesday night's game, Blais caught the Colorado defenceman a little too high. He was given a two-minute minor for elbowing.

Blais will miss Friday night's game against Colorado and Monday night's contest against the San Jose Sharks.
