SEATTLE — Seattle Torrent defender Aneta Tejralová has been suspended for two games after an open ice hit onNew York Sirens forward Sarah Fillier.
The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) announced the suspension on Wednesday after a review of the incident.
The PWHL labeled the check as high, forceful and predatory as the hit was mostly to Fillier’s head.
The hit happened during the first period on Sunday during the first period of Sunday’s game between the Torrent and the Sirens in Dallas.
Fillier had delivered a check to Tejralová earlier in the period.
Tejralová’s check appeared to be a retaliatory move against Fillier.
This marks the first suspension of Tejralová’s PWHL career.
The Torrent’s next matchup will be against the Toronto Sceptres in Hamilton, Ontario, on Jan. 3.
