NEW YORK — The NHL has upheld its four-game suspension of Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson for charging.
Andersson was initially given the ban for charging Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine late in the third period of a game Friday in Columbus.
He was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for elbowing. The Blue Jackets won the game 3-1.
Andersson appealed the suspension and had a hearing with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Monday.
