Minnesota Frost rookie forward Britta Curl-Salemme received a one-game suspension from the PWHL on Friday for an illegal check to the head of Toronto Sceptres defenseman Renata Fast.
The suspension is the third this season for Curl-Salemme, who previously was punished for a high-sticking incident on Jan. 2 against Boston and an illegal check to the head on March 9 versus Toronto.
On Wednesday, Curl-Salemme administered what PWHL Player Safety characterized as “a high and forceful check” during the second period of the Frost’s 3-2 setback to the Sceptres in Game 1 of their semifinal playoff series.
Per the league, Curl-Salemme made “the head the main point of contact on a play where such contact to the head was avoidable.”
Curl-Salemme was whistled for a five-minute major and game misconduct for the hit.
She will serve the suspension during Game 2 of the best-of-five series on Friday night in Toronto.
A three-time national champion at Wisconsin, Curl-Salemme totaled 15 points (nine goals, six assists) in 28 games this season for Minnesota.
