Other suspensions were handed out as a result of the melee. Fort Wayne's Chase Stewart and Kyle Haas were both suspended for six games for fighting off the playing surface during the altercation.
The 27-year-old Clark was never drafted by an NHL team. He did play for the Toronto Marlies of the AHL, as well as the Chicago Wolves, Utica Comets, San Jose Barracuda and the Milwaukee Admirals. In 34 games with Jacksonville this season, he has eight goals and 14 assists for 22 points. Besides the suspension, he also received a fine of an undisclosed amount.
