PWHL suspends Victoire’s Dubois for illegal hit

NHL

TORONTO — The Professional Women’s Hockey League has suspended Montreal Victoire forward Catherine Dubois one game for an illegal hit to the head.

The league announced the ban Friday after Dubois received a major penalty and game misconduct for checking Boston’s Megan Keller during Montreal’s 3-1 win over the Fleet on Monday.

Keller fell hard to the ice after Dubois clipped her near the boards at the end of the second period. The Fleet defender returned to play the third period.

Dubois has one assist in five games this season.

She will sit out Montreal’s rematch against Boston on Sunday in Seattle, part of the PWHL’s “Takeover Tour” as the league eyes expansion next season.

The Victoire are riding a four-game winning streak and rank second in the league with 13 points, one point behind the Minnesota Frost with a game in hand.
