TORONTO — The Professional Women’s Hockey League has handed out its first suspension.

Boston forward Taylor Wenczkowski will serve a one-game ban for a hit to the head of Ottawa defender Amanda Boulier on Wednesday.

The play occurred early in the third period with Boston leading 2-1 when Wenczkowski collided with Boulier in the neutral zone moments after the defender played the puck. 

Wenczkowski received a minor penalty for roughing but Boston won the game in Ottawa 3-2.

The 26-year-old will sit out Boston’s game against Minnesota on Saturday afternoon. She has zero points through four PWHL games.
