The NHL has suspended Arizona Coyotes forward Josh Archibald two games for a hit to the head of Nashville Predators forward Ryan Hartman, the Department of Player Safety announced Friday.

The incident occurred Thursday night and resulted in a two-minute minor.

Hartman went to the Predators' dressing room immediately after the hit but returned in the third period.

Archibald has suited up in nine games with the Coyotes this season, failing to record a point. Hartman, meanwhile, has five goals and four assists in 19 contests.
