Torres banned

RAFFI Torres of Phoenix was suspended 25 games by the National Hockey League on Saturday for a late hit that resulted in Chicago's Marian Hossa being taken off the ice on a stretcher. The ban ensures the Coyotes forward will miss the rest of the playoffs. Torres left his feet to hit an unsuspecting Hossa on Tuesday, smashing the Blackhawks forward into the ice. The Slovak hasn't appeared again in the series. Torres was not penalized during the game for the hit. His suspension is the longest since New York Islanders forward Chris Simon was banned for 30 games for stomping on the ankle of Jarrko Ruutu in December 2007.
