The hit that left Islanders forward Nino Niederreiter with a concussion will cost Stars defenseman Mark Fistric three games.

The NHL suspended Fistric with the league’s head disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan explaining it was given because Fistric left his feet and launched upward at Niederreiter.

Niederreiter has not played since that game, which the Islanders won 5-4 in Dallas. Fistric will be eligible to return when the teams meet again at Nassau Coliseum on Dec. 15.
