From the College Hockey News …

North Dakota forward Matt Frattin has been suspended by the WCHA for one game, for a hit on Minnesota’s Kevin Wehrs during Sunday’s Game 3 between the two teams.

As a result, Frattin will have to sit out Thursday’s WCHA Final Five play-in game against Minnesota-Duluth. He would be eligible to return for the semifinals, or, if North Dakota loses, for the first round of the NCAAs.

The hit came about four minutes into the second period, with the teams tied, 1-1. Frattin was called for a 5-minute major for contact to the head. The hit knocked Wehrs out of the game. Here’s a video of the hit.
