Montreal club forward Sarah Lefort was suspended for the first game of the Professional Women’s Hockey League semi-final series against the Boston team.
The LPHF disciplinary committee announced the news Thursday afternoon, less than three hours before the start of the meeting at Place Bell.
Lefort was punished for a hit against Jamie Lee Rattray early in the first period of the game between Montreal and Boston on May 4. Rattray seemed to be stunned by the contact made as she had just turned around.
Lefort was not punished during the sequence.
For her part, Montreal forward Mélodie Daoust was fined $250 for grabbing a rival’s facial protector during a skirmish in the same match against Boston.
Furthermore, Daoust signed a 10-day contract with the Montreal club to participate in the start of the team’s playoff journey.
She collected 3 goals and two assists in 6 games during her two 10-day contracts during the regular season.
