Shot on Snow costs Purinton four games

SportsTicker

NEW YORK -- New York Rangers defenseman Dale Purinton has been suspended for four preseason games for attempting to injure goaltender Garth Snow in Saturday's game against the New York Islanders.

The incident occurred at 12:36 of the second period and Purinton was assessed a two-minute instigating penalty, a five-minute major for fighting, a 10-minute misconduct, a game misconduct plus a match penalty.

Purinton also was fined $1,000 -- the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement.

Since Purinton was suspended immediately, pending league review, he missed games against Philadelphia and New Jersey on Sunday and Tuesday. He will also miss games Wednesday against Montreal and Sunday against Boston.
