Yeah, there's the 23 man roster limit until the trade deadline. Players on suspension count against the roster limit.
However, when Torres was suspended for half the season, San Jose got approval for him to have non-roster status during his suspension, so they were able to still have 23 men in the NHL. I don't know if they were given that exemption because of the extraordinary length of the suspension or because he was suspended before the start of the regular season.
