Edmonton Oilers forward Jujhar Khaira has been suspended two games for cross-checking St. Louis Blues defenceman Vince Dunn during Tuesday night's 4-1 loss, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.

The incident in question occurred in the third period of the game at Rogers Arena. After Khaira knocked Dunn down with a big hit, Dunn responded with a cross-check. It was then that Khaira retaliated with a cross-check of his own to Dunn's face. He received a five-minute major and a game misconduct on the play.

The Department of Player Safety also announced on Wednesday a fine for Dunn's part in the incident.

The fine of $1,942.20 is the maximum amount allowed under the CBA.

In 33 games this season, the Surrey, B.C., native has two goals and 11 assists, including one on Jesse Puljujvarvi's marker against the Blues.
