STAUDACHER

The Big Ten announced Monday that Minnesota junior defenseman Matt Staudacher has been suspended for one game as a result of an incident that occurred in the game against Wisconsin on November 6, 2021.

The action was taken by the conference after a review of an incident that occurred near the 2:03 mark of the second period and resulted in Staudacher receiving a major penalty for contact to the head and a game misconduct.

Staudacher is ineligible to play in Minnesota’s next game against Ohio State on November 12, 2021.
