The NHL suspended the L.A. Kings’ Brendan Lemieux for five games Tuesday for biting the Ottawa Senators’ Brady Tkachuk during the Kings’ 4-2 win last Saturday.

The incident happened late in the third period, when Lemieux was down on the ice wrestling with Tkachuk and a linesman and he bit Tkachuk on his hand. After the game, a furious Tkachuk called it “the most gutless thing somebody could ever do.”
