During the third period of the game, Gillies elbowed Penguins' forward Eric Tangradi in the face, punched him several times while he was down on the ice, and proceeded to taunt him from the dressing room hallway. Tangradi suffered concussion like symptoms and remained out of the Penguins line-up indefinitely

And then his first game back from that suspension:

In his first game back from the suspension, Gillies was ejected for a hit on Cal Clutterbuck in a game against the Minnesota Wild on March 2, 2011. After an in-person hearing, Gillies was suspended for 10 games for the incident

Then in Nov 2013 spearing a kid in Finland and getting a 5+20 and a plane ticket back to North America.
There's also a 5 game suspension from Jan 2, 2014 in the ECHL where it sounds like he either left the bench/3rd man in and beat the snot out of an unwilling opponent:
