The Texas Stars announced that the AHL has suspended center Warren Peters for one game because of a boarding major he took in Game Four on Wednesday night.
You can see the hit here, just under halfway through the clip. It’s a pretty blatant boarding penalty, and not a big surprise that the league acted to hand out additional time on it.
Also out for Game Five is Stars’ defenseman Garrett Stafford who is serving the final game of a three-game suspension for an elbowing incident in Game Two of the Stars’ Division Final series.
The press release from the league is below:
***

Peters was suspended under the provisions of AHL Rule 29.1 (supplementary discipline).
