Page "Ed Jovanovski" Paragraph 11

A month following his trade, Jovanovski suffered a broken foot while blocking a shot in a game against the New Jersey Devils on February 9, 1999.

Later in the campaign, he was involved in an altercation with Montreal Canadiens forward Shayne Corson.

After being high-sticked in the face by Corson, the two players were sent off the ice, at which point Corson entered the Canucks ' dressing room to verbally confront Jovanovski.

According to Corson, the feud stemmed from comments Jovanovski had said about his family.

As a result of entering the Canucks ' dressing room, the Canadiens forward was later suspended five games by the NHL, in addition to one game for the high stick.

In 31 games with the Canucks that season, Jovanovski recorded two goals and 11 points.

Combined with his games played with the Panthers, he totalled 27 points in 72 games.
