SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League today announced that Albany Devils defenseman Dan Kelly has been suspended for ten (10) games as a consequence of a match penalty for an illegal check to the head of an opponent in a playoff game vs. Toronto on May 10.

Kelly will miss Albany’s next 10 games, beginning with Game 5 of the North Division Finals vs. Toronto tonight (May 12). If Albany is eliminated before the suspension can be served to completion this postseason, remaining games would carry over to the next time Kelly is active on an AHL club roster.
