Jean-Francois Jacques Suspended 5 Games

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

Anaheim Ducks forward Jean-Francois Jacques has been suspended for the remainder of the pre-season and for five regular season games for a violation of rule 70 which governs any player who on a legal line change comes onto the ice for the expressed purpose of starting a fight.

In Saturday's pre-season game against the Vancouver Canucks, the 26-year-old forward entered the playing surface via a legal line change and went right after the Canucks' Mike Duco to engage in a fight.

Jacques received, and has already served, an automatic one game suspension for instigating a fight in the last five minutes of the third period.  He sat out Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
