NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Vegas Golden Knights defenceman Brayden McNabb has been suspended for Game 6<\/a> of the team\u2019s second-round playoff series Thursday in Anaheim for his late hit that injured Ducks centre Ryan Poehling<\/a>.<\/p>\n The NHL\u2019s Department of Player Safety announced the suspension<\/a> Wednesday, hours after holding a disciplinary hearing with him about the hit.<\/p>\n McNabb was given a five-minute major penalty for interference and ejected nine minutes into Game 5 on Tuesday. While the hit was shoulder to shoulder, it came long after the puck was gone.<\/p>\n The back of Poehling\u2019s head hit the glass, and he was wobbly when he tried to stand back up. <\/p>\n Teammates helped him off the ice, and the team ruled him out for the rest of the game because of an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n Vegas won in overtime<\/a> to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.<\/p>\n Coach Joel Quenneville said Poehling is out. The Ducks have several options to replace him, whether it\u2019s another forward or a defenceman.<\/p>\n This is the first suspension for McNabb more than a decade into his career in the league. <\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n AP NHL: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/stanley-cup<\/a> and https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nhl<\/a><\/p>\n The Associated Press<\/p>\n 14 \t\t
