NEW YORK -- The NHL has suspended Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning two games for his hit on Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel during Saturday's outdoor game played at Heinz Field.

Manning met with the NHL Player Safety Department on Monday. It suspended Manning for interference on the play, a late hit to the head.

Manning had never been suspended before in his NHL career.
