Philadelphia Flyers enforcer Jody Shelley received his second two-game ban in less than a month, NHL officials announced Wednesday.

This suspension was the result of Shelley's actions during Tuesday's game against the Vancouver Canucks. Shelley punched Canuck Andrew Alberts in the head during a scrum in the third period. Combined with his Dec. 13 suspension for a dangerous collision with Boston Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid, Shelley is now considered a repeat offender under league rules.

Shelley will lose $26,829.27 in salary as he sits out Thursday's game at Los Angeles and Friday's contest in Anaheim.

Here is video of the incident. Shelley is clearly seen hitting an unsuspecting Alberts, knocking him to the ice with one shot.
