Boynton will have to sit out the Hawk regular season opener against Colorado.
Nick Boynton has been suspended by the league for one game after making a throat slashing gesture to Tampa Bay’s Blair Jones after a fight on Wednesday night.
Boynton and Jones fought after Boynton checked Chris Durno in a near knee-to-knee collision.
Boynton missed practice with an upper body injury and was unavailable for comment.
