NEW YORK — The NHL suspended Pittsburgh forward Arron Asham for four games — the remainder of his club’s series with the Philadelphia Flyers — and gave a one-game ban to Penguins teammate James Neal on Tuesday night for separate infractions.

Asham was punished after being given a match penalty for attempting to injure Philadelphia forward Brayden Schenn with a cross-check on Sunday in the first period of Pittsburgh’s loss that put the Penguins in a 3-0 series hole.

If the series ends before Game 7, Asham will have to serve the remainder of the suspension next season.

Neal will miss Game 4 on Wednesday night for charging Flyers forward Claude Giroux in the third period on Sunday. Neal was given a minor penalty for charging and was ejected.

The Penguins will also be without forward Craig Adams, who received an automatic one-game suspension from the NHL on Monday for instigating a fight late in Game 3. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma was fined $10,000 for the same fight.
