<p>NEW YORK — The NHL has suspended Vancouver Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler for two games for kneeing Toronto forward Zach Hyman.</p>
<p>Edler also will forfeit $103,448 under the terms of the league’s collective bargaining agreement and will be eligible to return on Saturday.</p>
<p>The collision happened in the second period of Vancouver’s 3-2 overtime win Sunday when Edler took out Hyman in front of the Leafs bench.</p>
<p>The left winger dropped hard to the ice and stayed down for several minutes before play was halted and a trainer came to his aid. Hyman went directly to the locker room and did not return.</p>
<p>The Canucks were playing their first game since March 24 after being sidelined by a COVID-19 outbreak.</p>
<p>The Canucks and Maple Leafs meet again Tuesday night in Vancouver. ___</p>
