The AHL today announced that Haydn Fleury has been suspended one game.

The suspension comes as a result of an illegal check to the head of an opponent in Friday’s loss to Lehigh Valley. The blue liner will miss Sunday afternoon’s rematch against the Phantoms.

The Checkers are currently carrying eight healthy defensemen, so either Dennis Robertson or Bobby Sanguinetti – both scratched from Friday’s contest – will draw into Sunday’s lineup.
