The Big Ten announced Monday a pair of suspensions for an altercation that occurred near the end of the game between Minnesota and Wisconsin on Jan. 17.<\/p>\n
Wisconsin junior defenseman Eddie Wittchow, who received a one-game suspension for a disqualification penalty in the game, has been suspended for one additional game under the conference’s supplemental discipline process. The action was taken by the conference after a review of an incident that occurred near the 19:29 mark of the third period and resulted in Wittchow receiving a major penalty for contact to the head and a game disqualification. As a disqualification penalty is accompanied by an automatic one-game suspension, Wittchow is ineligible to play in Wisconsin’s next two games scheduled for Jan. 23 and 24 against Michigan.<\/p>\n
In addition, Minnesota sophomore forward Vinni Lettieri has been suspended for one game for leaving the bench during the same altercation at the 19:29 mark of the third period. Lettieri is ineligible to play in Minnesota’s next game on Jan. 23 against Minnesota State.<\/p>\n
