Calgary Flames rookie forward Martin Pospisil was suspended for three games without pay Wednesday for boarding Seattle defenseman Vince Dunn.

Pospisil was given a major penalty and a game misconduct for hitting Dunn into the end boards from behind during the third period Monday night in Seattle’s 4-2 victory in Calgary.

The suspension will cost Pospisil $12,109. He has six goals and nine assists in 45 games this season.
