NEW YORK — Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Emil Lilleberg has been suspended two games without pay for interference against Detroit Red Wings forward J.T. Compher on Saturday night. Lilleberg received a minor penalty for the incident, which occurred in the second period of the Red Wings' 2-0 victory. Lilleberg will lose a little more than $9,000 under terms of the collective bargaining agreement. That money will go to the players' emergency assistance fund.
