Val-d’Or Foreurs 3 @ Moncton Wildcats 7
D Mark Barberio, MCT: Did not play (suspended)
Season Totals: 37 GP, 6-25-31, +15, 36 PIM

Barberio was suspended as punishment for a spearing incident in his last game. This game was originally to be played November 5. The game was canceled because a large amount of Moncton players were suffering from the flu.

The Belleville Bulls are reporting they have acquired Lightning 2009 second rounder Richard Panik in a seven player trade with Windsor.

Panik, Austen Brassard, defenseman Paul Bezzo, and goaltender Steve Gleeson were sent to Belleville with Owen Sound’s third round pick in the 2010 OHL Priority Selection, Owen Sound’s second round pick in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection and Windsor’s seventh round pick in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection for goaltender Philipp Grubauer, defenseman Marc Cantin, and forward Stephen Johnston to Windsor.

Today the QMJHL announced that Lightning prospect and Moncton Wildcats defenseman Mark Barberio has been suspended one game for spearing an opponent during last Sunday’s game against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.

According to the league, the decision was made after reviewing a videotape of the incident and after consulting all concerned parties.
