The announcers on NBC Sports Network broadcasting the Gophers-Denver game on Friday night mentioned that further discilinary action might be coming to Kyle Rau.

Well, it has come.

The WCHA has suspended him for Saturday night's game at DU.

Here is the WCHA release:

The men's Western Collegiate Hockey Association today announced a one-game suspension to University of Minnesota hockey player Kyle Rau for his actions in the February 10 game vs the University of Denver.

Rau's suspension was determined after a review of the incident under the WCHA's Supplementary Discipline Policy and Procedures. At the time of the incident, he was assessed a 5:00-major penalty for boarding and a 10:00-game misconduct.

Rau will be required to serve this one-game suspension in his team's next regularly scheduled game on Saturday, February 11 vs the University of Denver.

That's it.

Gophers coach Don Lucia was asked about Rau's hit after Friday's game. He said he did not see the play initially, but did look at a replay. He said Rau hit Zucker in the chest.

It was not a hit from behind like the Denver Post story says, but Zucker looked like he did not see Rau coming. Rau is little but he hits hard.
