TORONTO (Reuters) - Carolina Hurricanes' forward Scott Walker has been suspended for one game, without pay, for head butting an opponent, the NHL said on Thursday.

Walker head-butted Ottawa Senators forward Mike Fisher during the second period of Wednesday's game.

The forward will forfeit $13,368 from his salary and the money will be donated to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
