The AHL suspended San Jose Sharks prospect Ozzy Wiesblatt for three games for an illegal check to the head.

The AHL suspended San Jose Sharks prospect Ozzy Wiesblatt for three games for interference. 

The San Jose Barracuda regular season got underway last night against the Rockford IceHogs. 

Wiesblatt has a playstyle that involves physicality and pestering the opponent. Last night, that was no different, as the winger was bouncing bodies all night. 

He took it a step too far in the second period with a hit against Kale Howarth, who didn't have the puck. 

Howarth is listed at 6'5 and 205 lbs compared to Wiesblatt, who is listed at 5'10, 185 lbs.

Wiesblatt was issued a five-minute major and a game misconduct. The IceHogs scored on the powerplay twice, making it a 4-1 game.

The IceHogs would go on to win the game 7-2.
