SAINT JOHN - The Charlottetown Islanders will be without forward Ethan Crossman for the next two games.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League suspended Crossman two games for his check to the head on Saint John Sea Dogs forward Josh Lawrence. Crossman was given a five-minute major and game misconduct for the play that happened in the first period of Friday's game at TD Station.

Lawrence was not injured on the play and scored later in the game.

Crossman, acquired from the Chicoutimi Sagueneens a couple weeks ago, has a goal and an assist in four games since joining the Islanders.

The Sea Dogs and Islanders met again on Saturday night in Saint John.
