NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The NHL suspended injured Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Caleb Jones for 20 games on Wednesday for violating the terms of the NHL\/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program.<\/p>\n
Jones, 28, is in his first season with the Penguins. The club placed him on injured reserve in late October with a foot injury, then assigned him to their American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton. He played one game for Wilkes-Barre in January before sustaining an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n
