Stanley was given two roughing minors halfway through the second period of the Jets’ 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday when he got tangled up with Senators’ captain Brady Tkachuk.
He was given a two-minute roughing call for removing Tkachuk’s helmet and another two-minutes for dropping his gloves and punching Tkachuk in the face.
Tkachuk was also given a 10-minute misconduct on the play.
Stanley has seven goals and 13 points in 40 games this season while averaging 16:10 of ice time.
Winnipeg has been full of frustration over their last 10 games, going 1-6-3 and are sitting dead last in the NHL with a 15-21-4 record.
Beecher’s incident happened late in the first period of the Flames’ 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday when he punched Predators forward Michael McCarron in the face with his gloves on while both players were being restrained by officials.
McCarron went down while clutching his face and went to the Predators’ dressing room for repairs.
Both players were given two-minute roughing penalties and 10-minute misconducts on the play.
Beecher has a goal and three points in 25 games this season with 29 penalty minutes.
The Flames sit in seventh place in the Pacific Division with an 18-19-4 record this season.
