Top Vancouver Canuck prospect Zack Kassian has been suspended one game by the American Hockey League for an incident that occured Tuesday night in Charlotte while Kassian was playing for the Chicago Wolves, the Canucks’ AHL farm team. According to the Wolves, Kassian accidentally bumped an official on his way to the penalty box to serve a second-period hooking minor. He was given no other penalty on the play. The suspension for making contact with an official is automatically one game. Kassian has four goals, three assists and 24 penalty minutes in 11 games for the Wolves. He’ll miss their Friday game against the Milwaukee Admirals.
