The National Hockey League has suspended Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson two games for his hit from behind on Buffalo Sabres winger Jason Pominville during the Blackhawks 4-3 win on Monday.

''There's nothing I can do about that now,'' Hjalmarsson said on Wednesday. ''The league gave me two games and I guess I have to accept that.

''It wasn't too hard of a hit, I guess. Maybe I should have considered him being in a vulnerable position a bit more. It's what [the league] said.''

The incident occurred with 5:42 left in the first period.  Pominville sustained a concussion and a gash above his eye that required 7-8 stitches. He was diagnosed in the building without going to a hospital.
