BREAKING: William Lockwood Receives Lengthy Suspension For Hitting Marc-Andre Fleury

In Friday's clash between the Florida Panthers and Minnesota Wild, the game was intense, but the major talking point was the injury suffered by veteran star Marc-Andre Fleury.

The incident unfolded when William Lockwood deliberately interfered with the seasoned goaltender, causing him to go down with an injury.

Following a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety, Lockwood has now received an official three-game suspension for his role.

«Florida's William Lockwood has been suspended for three games for goalie interference on Minnesota's Marc-Andre Fleury.»

With just one point in 23 games for the Panthers this season, the 25-year-old may find himself on thin ice for more game time upon his return to the Florida lineup, especially after this impactful hit.
