Chris Simon receives 30-game suspension, longest in NHL history
TORONTO - Chris Simon has received the longest suspension in NHL history - again.
The New York Islanders forward was banned 30 games by league disciplinarian Colin Campbell after Simon stepped on Pittsburgh's Jarkko Ruutu during a game over the weekend.
Simon missed the first five games of this season while completing a 25-game ban handed out in March.
That was the previous record for an NHL suspension.
This is the seventh time in Simon's career that he has been suspended.
The 35-year-old left the Islanders earlier this week to receive counselling.
