An Islanders AHL player was hit with a 10-game suspension on Wednesday for “physical abuse of an official” after an incident during an April 5 game.   Bridgeport Islanders winger Adam Beckman skated directly into a referee during a game against the Charlotte Checkers and shoved him, sending the official flying into the boards before he was down on the ice clearly in pain.   The ref was eventually able to get up under his own power and continued with the game.
