Vegas forward Ryan Reaves was suspended two games by the NHL on Monday for his roughing and unsportsmanlike conduct on Colorado's Ryan Graves during the Golden Knights' 7-1 loss in Game 1 of their second-round series Sunday. The league also noted Reaves' actions — the roughing and unsportsmanlike conduct — were "retaliation" for an earlier hit by Graves on Mattias Janmark. The Avalanche weren't thrilled with the play on Graves, who was thrown to the ice as his helmet rolled away. "I do know a couple of things: His gloves never came off, nobody was hurt on the play," DeBoer said. The Golden Knights were none-too-pleased with a chest-high hit Graves delivered on Janmark near the boards in the second period.
