There's only one game left this season for the Minnesota Wild and Nate Prosser won't be playing in it. The Wild defenseman was suspended one game on Friday by league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan for head-butting Jamal Mayers of the Blackhawks on Thursday night.

The incident occurred (we've seen too many of these videos this season) in a scrum in front of the net when Mayers and Prosser engaged each other. Then Prosser lunged forward with his helmet and connected with Mayers' face, bloodying his lip.
