Penguins forward Matt Cooke has been suspended four games over a hit from behind on Blue Jackets defenseman Fedor Tyutin during last night's game at Consol Energy Center.

The hit occurred at the 14:42 mark of the first period. Following a fight with Columbus forward Derick Brassard, Cooke was given a five minute major for charging on the play.

This is Cooke's third suspension with the Penguins since joining the club in the 2008 offseason.

EN Says: It'll be interesting to see how the Penguins manage their roster with Cooke, Arron Asham, Mike Comrie, Sidney Crosby, Chris Kunitz, Mark Letestu and Evgeni Malkin out of the lineup for various reasons.
