Shore was helped off the ice by teammates and headed straight to the Ducks' locker room. He did not return.
Cole avoided supplementary discipline for a similar knee-on-knee collision with New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson earlier this season. He was assessed a two-minute minor on that play.
The 30-year-old rearguard earned a three-game ban in 2012 for an illegal check to the head of Detroit Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader, the only suspension of his career.
Lowry received a two-minute minor for high-sticking on the play.
The decision marks the second suspension of the 25-year-old's career after serving a one-game ban for boarding in 2014.
Philadephia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas and Predators forward Ryan Johansen also received two-game suspensions for high-sticking infractions earlier this season.
It was a busy Saturday for department head George Parros and Co., as New Jersey Devils forward Kurtis Gabriel was suspended one game earlier in the day.
NHL Network has hired United States Olympic Gold Medalist Kendall Coyne Schofield as a studio analyst.
Coyne Schofield will make her debut on ''NHL Tonight'' on Monday, March. 4 at 10 p.m. ET alongside Tony Luftman and Kevin Weekes, the network announced on Friday.
On March 5 at 4 p.m. ET, the 26-year-old will be part of the second annual all-female production of NHL Network's daily show ''NHL Now'' with co-hosts Jamie Hersch and Jackie Redmond.
“I am extremely excited for the opportunity to join NHL Network as an on-air analyst,” she told NHL public relations. “I’m looking forward to joining a team of expert analysts and sharing my passion for the game with hockey fans.”
The Illinois native made history when she became the first woman to compete during NHL All-Star weekend in January. Coyne Schofield put her speed on display in the Fastest Skater event, posting a time of 14.5 seconds.
This is the fifth edition of theScore's Vezina Trophy Power Rankings. With just over five weeks remaining on the NHL schedule, we take a closer look at a group of candidates who are closing in on capturing this year's award.
5. Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens

Price has backstopped a once-overlooked Canadiens team into playoff contention. It hasn't been his finest season, on paper, but the 31-year-old has carried a heavy load, as his 48 starts and 26 victories rank first and third, respectively, among Eastern Conference goaltenders.
The veteran netminder made his mark in mid-January when he led Montreal to a seven-game winning streak, during which he conceded just 10 goals. Despite the 3-5-1 record over his last nine contests, Price has given his team a chance every night, allowing two goals or fewer in five of those games.
Since the new year, Price boasts a save percentage of .936 and a goals-against average of 2.04. Throw out an ugly month of November, and he's been one the best goalies in the league this season.
4. Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins

The Bruins are one of many teams to adopt the platoon system in goal this season. Unfortunately, for the duo of Rask and Jaroslav Halak, the split crease time could decrease either's chance to capture the Vezina. No goaltender has won the trophy while playing fewer than 50 games - in a full season - since 1988-89, and neither is on pace to hit that mark.
But how could we not recognize a netminder who hasn't suffered a regulation loss for over two months? Since Dec. 23, Rask has posted a mark of 12-1-3 and helped launch the Bruins up the standings and into second place in the Eastern Conference.
With a 2.25 goals-against average and .925 save percentage over that span, he's been lights out for a Boston team that keeps on winning.
3. Frederik Andersen, Toronto Maple Leafs

For a team that's loaded with star power, it's Andersen who often shines the brightest. In his third season with the Leafs, perhaps the best of his young career, the 29-year-old became the fastest in team history to reach 100 total wins.
Andersen has thrived under pressure, posting a record of 8-1-1 when facing 40-plus shots in a game. He's faced the third-most shots this season and has responded with a save percentage of .923.
He shares the league lead in wins with 30 and hasn't dropped back-to-back games in regulation since November. Andersen has gone 8-2-2 with a .922 save percentage in February and looks poised to carry his terrific play into the postseason.
2. Robin Lehner, New York Islanders

Lehner may have been forced from our top spot, but the Islanders netminder remains one of the favorites to capture the Vezina. Splitting time with Thomas Greiss this season has limited him to 33 starts, but it's hard to deny the raw numbers, even with a lighter workload.
Lehner has gone 14-4-2 with three shutouts over his last 20 contests, conceding just 35 goals to help the Islanders remain atop the Metropolitan Division.
The Swede leads the league with a 2.10 goals-against average and shares the No. 1 spot with a .930 save percentage. The Islanders rank 22nd in team scoring with 2.84 goals-per-game, which further demonstrates Lehner's invaluable contributions. History may not be on his side - in regard to the split workload - but when it comes to crowning this season's top goalie, the 27-year-old must be considered.
1. Andrei Vasilevskiy, Tampa Bay Lightning

Vasilevskiy may be playing behind a historically great Lightning team, but he still has to stop the puck. With a record of 9-0-2 in February, the goaltender has made it look easy by allowing just 18 goals over those 11 games.
The Russian is tied for second in the NHL with 29 wins and shares the lead in save percentage with a mark of .930. His 2.28 goals-against average is second only to Lehner among netminders with at least 32 appearances, though Vasilevskiy has started seven more games.
The 6-foot-4 puck-stopper has been a model of consistency this season, as he has not lost back-to-back games in regulation all year. His only two-game slide came earlier this month with both games going to extra time. It's going to be hard to slow down Vasilevskiy and the Lightning, and if he can continue his dominant play, the 24-year-old could claim his first career Vezina Trophy.
"I grew a lot in my time there and really thankful for the impact a lot of people had on me," Tavares said on Tuesday, according to TSN's Mark Masters. "I'm not trying to overthink it. I just try and go out there and be myself and play and help the Maple Leafs."
Tavares gave the Islanders new life, and his decision to leave cuts deep among fans of a team that hasn't experienced much success in several decades. The 28-year-old is well aware that he could face an unpleasant greeting.
"Yeah, I mean, you have a sense for what it might be like so whatever it is, it will be, I'll just try and go out there and try to play," he said.
Tavares carved out his legacy on Long Island, scoring 272 goals and recording 621 points to rank seventh and fifth, respectively, in franchise history. In 2016, the five-time All-Star led the Islanders to their first playoff-series victory since 1993.
“I really embraced being an Islander,” he said. “I loved it. It was a great place to play. I never didn’t enjoy my time there even when times weren’t going well.
"I did everything I could to just help the team hopefully win a Stanley Cup and unfortunately we weren't able to do that and I take responsibility, especially being the captain, not doing a good enough job consistently."
The Mississauga, Ontario native is on pace for career highs in goals and points during his first season with the Maple Leafs.
The Islanders blanked Toronto 4-0 in the first and only meeting between the teams this season, with Tavares recording five shots on goal.
Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving didn't want to go all-in at the trade deadline and shave years off the team's championship window.
"I wasn't prepared to start firing off A assets … just for something short term,” Treliving told reporters on Monday, according to The Athletic's Scott Cruickshank. "There's no mourning. The hearse is not driving by and none of us are climbing in.
"I'm going to go have a cold beer right now and still have guys like (Juuso) Valimaki in our organization - that's a pretty good day."
“Our goal was to try to help our team, without taking off of our team,” said Treliving. "But that caveat was always there - that we weren’t prepared to remove Juuso Valimaki, we weren’t prepared to move Rasmus Andersson, we weren’t prepared to go deep into first-round picks."
Calgary added defenseman Oscar Fantenberg from the Los Angeles Kings. But the Flames stood pat otherwise while top Western Conference teams - the San Jose Sharks, Vegas Golden Knights, Nashville Predators, and Winnipeg Jets - upgraded significantly.
Despite the added pressure, Treliving wasn't going to budge.
“You’re aware what’s going on around you - you don’t have blinders on,” he said. “But because your next-door neighbor buys a big car? If you can’t afford it, you don’t get the big car, right? That’s just the way it works."
The Flames lead the Western Conference heading into Tuesday's action, and they're on pace for their highest point total since 1988-89 - the last season Calgary won the Stanley Cup.
Zucker recorded a career-high 64 points last season, and the Wild rewarded the speedy winger with a five-year, $27.5-million deal. The 27-year-old has 15 goals and 16 assists this season.
It was reported Monday that talks between the Flames and Ottawa Senators regarding forward Mark Stone also fell apart late Sunday night.
Calgary managed to acquire defenseman Oscar Fantenberg from the Los Angeles Kings, but any attempts to bolster the Flames' forward depth at the trade deadline were unsuccessful.
Staal's contract carries an average annual value of $3.25 million, and the 34-year-old center will earn $3.5 million next season and $3 million the following year.
The veteran has found new life since joining Minnesota. After seeing his offense regress in his final years with the Hurricanes, Staal bounced back with 28 goals during his first season in Minnesota, and 42 goals in the 2017-18 campaign - his highest mark since his sophomore year.
The 6-foot-4 forward has contributed 18 goals and 41 points so far in his third season with the Wild, and he ranks second in team scoring.
Approaching the trade deadline, Staal remained adamant about staying with the team and submitted a 10-team no-trade list, making it difficult for general manager Paul Fenton to move him.
Minnesota sits a point up on the Colorado Avalanche for the final wild-card berth in the Western Conference heading into Monday's action.
The 2019 second-rounder will become a first if the Stars win two playoff rounds and Zuccarello plays in at least 50 percent of the team's cumulative games during those series, and the 2020 third-rounder will become a first if Dallas re-signs the nine-year veteran.
The Rangers have also agreed to retain 30 percent of the forward's salary, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. Zuccarello is in the final year of his current deal with an annual cap hit of $4.5 million and is scheduled to become a UFA on July 1.
The 31-year-old's speed and playmaking ability will provide an offensive boost for a Dallas team that currently ranks 29th in league scoring with 2.51 goals per game.
In the 2014 postseason, Zuccarello helped the Rangers reach the Stanley Cup Final, chipping in 13 points over 25 games. The Norwegian winger has recorded 113 goals and 352 points in 509 career games, all for the Rangers.
