Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman has been suspended one preseason game and one regular-season contest for boarding Winnipeg Jets forward Jansen Harkins, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Thursday.

The incident occurred in the second period of Wednesday's exhibition game in Winnipeg. Coleman received a minor penalty for boarding on the play, while Harkins left the game for concussion protocol but managed to return.

Coleman will miss Calgary's final preseason contest Friday, as well as his official debut as a Flame in the team's season opener on Oct. 16 against the Edmonton Oilers. However, he'll be allowed to suit up for Calgary's home opener against the Anaheim Ducks on Oct. 18.

This is the first time Coleman has received supplemental discipline in his NHL career. The 29-year-old signed a six-year deal with the Flames this offseason.
