Pronger does not get suspended for his fight with Handzus
At the end of last night’s game between the Ducks and Kings, Michal Handzus shot the puck after the buzzer had sounded at the end of overtime.

The referees sent both men off to their respective dressing rooms with identical fighting and misconduct penalties. Pronger got an extra 2:00 for instigating. The instigating penalty carried with it an automatic one game suspension and $10,000 fine for the coach. Anaheim was able to appeal to the League, and Brian Burke chose to do so after the game.
