Paul Bissonnette has completed his three-game suspension. Bissonnette was being punished for coming off the bench to participate in an altercation during a preseason contest. That comes with an automatic 10-game suspension, but he decided to appeal the ruling and succeeded in reducing his punishment.

Paul Bissonnette is eligible to return from his three game suspension Wednesday. Bissonnette was thought to come off the bench during an altercation in the preseason but there was not any tape of the game so it was reduced to three games. The Coyotes play the Red Wings Wednesday and it remains to be seen if he will draw into the lineup or remain in the press box. His value in fantasy pools is only in the penalty minute category and the Red Wings usually do not engage in fisticuffs so it is likely that he will remain on the sidelines at least one more game.

Paul Bissonnette has had his automatic 10-game suspension reduced, according to multiple reports. According to TSN's Bob McKenzie the Phoenix tough guys' new ban is believed to be only three games. Bissonnette was assessed a 10-game suspension for leaving the bench to get involved in an altercation on the ice.

Coyotes forward Paul Bissonnette will appeal his 10-game suspension received for leaving the bench during an altercation in Sunday's preseason game against the Kings. Bissonnette received an automatic 10-game ban after he left the bench during a line change, but has chosen to roll the dice with the appeal process. The Phoenix enforcer is permitted to participate in preseason action while the league weighs the merits of his appeal.

Paul Bissonnette has the option to appeal his 10-game suspension, but hasn't chosen to do so yet. The NHLPA and Bissonnette's agent have been reviewing the situation. Bissonnette's suspension was automatic and the result of him leaving the bench to fight Jordan Nolan. If he decides against appealing his suspension, then he'll be eligible to return on Oct. 24.

As expected, Coyotes forward Paul Bissonnette was assessed a 10-game suspension by the NHL. Bissonnette left the bench during a line change in Sunday's preseason game against the Kings, which carries an automatic 10-game punishment. You'll have to look elsewhere for penalty minutes if you were planning on using the services of Biz Nasty in your fantasy league.

Los Angeles Kings coach Darryl Sutter believes the automatic 10-game suspension handed to Coyotes enforcer Paul Bissonnette should be reviewed by the league. Sutter feels the circumstances surrounding the incidents following the hit of Rostislav Klesla by the Kings Jordan Nolan should be taken into consideration, although Bissonnette technically left the bench during the altercation. "To me, that's marginal, too," Sutter said. "He's changing. If that was a regular season game, nothing's going on. Quite honest, the referees called minors after the play.And there were no minors, either. They didn't have to call it. Basically, it's just like both teams had a lot of inexperienced players. There was one inexperienced referee, too, last night." The determination of Bissonnette's suspension could have some impact to leagues that reward penalty minutes as he is one of the NHL's better enforcers.

Paul Bissonnette is facing a automatic 10 games after leaving the bench during Sunday's preseason contest. Bissonnette already has been handed a game misconduct for going on the ice to fight Jordan Nolan after Nolan's delivered a hit that hospitalized Rostislav Klesla. It's still possible that the NHL will choose to rescind his punishment.

Paul Bissonnette has an assist in three straight games. This is the first three-game point streak of Bissonnette's career. He's a bottom-six forward for the Coyotes and you'd have to be in a very deep fantasy league to warrant using him.

While most of his NHL brethren has chosen to target NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, Phoenix Coyotes tough guy Paul Bissonnette chose to make Boston owner Jeremy Jacobs the subject of his frustration. "I'm more upset with a guy like [Boston Bruins owner Jeremy] Jacobs," he said in Wednesday morning interview with Sirius XM Home Ice Radio. "It just sounds so hypocritical for him to think the last CBA was so awful and how garbage it was, and then go out and sign three of his top guys right before the last one expired. If it was that bad, why rush to sign those guys? Why not wait until the new CBA comes?" The Bruins signed Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin right before the lockout to long-term deals.
