NEW YORK – Buffalo Sabres goalie Aaron Dell received a three-game suspension from the NHL on Wednesday for an incident involving Ottawa Senators forward Drake Batherson.

Batherson required assistance to leave the ice. Dell was not given a penalty on the play.

Dell will lose US$11,250.00 in salary that will go to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
