The Big Ten announced today that Ohio State junior defenseman Josh Healey, Wisconsin junior forward Aidan Cavallini and Wisconsin senior defenseman Eddie Wittchow have each been suspended, under the conference’s supplemental discipline process, as a result of incidents that occurred in separate games on January 23.
Healey has been suspended for two games after a review of an incident that occurred near the 1:37 mark of the third period against Penn State and resulted in the player receiving a major penalty for contact to the head and a game misconduct. Healey is ineligible to play Jan. 29-30 against Michigan State.
Cavallini and Wittchow have been suspended after a review of separate incidents against Minnesota. Cavallini has been suspended for one game after a review of an incident that occurred near the 11:20 mark of the first period and resulted in the player receiving a major penalty for hitting from behind and a game misconduct. Cavallini is ineligible to play on Jan. 29 against Alaska.
