The Guelph Storm's Nick Deakin-Poot has been suspended for three games by the Ontario Hockey League.

The second-year forward received a match penalty last Friday for a high stick on Saginaw Spirit defenceman Chet Phillips during the Storm's season opener at the Sleeman Centre.

Deakin-Poot did not play the following night in Saginaw and will miss this weekend's games at home Friday against the Hamilton Bulldogs and Saturday night in Owen Sound versus the Attack.

He is eligible to return to action next Friday when the Windsor Spitfires visit Guelph.
