Bruess suspended one game

MSU junior center Trevor Bruess will be out for today's nonconference road game against Nebraska-Omaha, serving a one-game suspension for "recent in-game incidents the league feels are detrimental to the game."

Bruess, one of MSU's assistant captains, was handed the suspension Thursday, after discussions between MSU officials and WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod.

Bruess was called for three penalties last Friday against North Dakota - kneeing, boarding and high sticking - and was involved in a collision Saturday that resulted in UND's Derrick LaPoint's season-ending leg injury. Bruess was not assessed a penalty on the play.

Bruess, a junior from Minneapolis, leads MSU with a plus-nine rating and has 15 points and 11 goals on the season. Bruess' 98 penalty minutes lead the Mavericks and is the third-highest total in the nation.
