Thursday, February 29th

The ECHL Department of Player Safety on Thursday announced that Tulsa’s Tyler Poulson has been suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount as a result of his actions in ECHL Game #653, Kansas City at Tulsa, on Feb. 28.

Poulson was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for cross-checking at 16:12 of the second period. He is fined and suspended under Rule #28 – Supplementary Discipline.

Poulson will miss Tulsa’s games at Allen (March 1) and vs. Kansas City (March 2).
