A 35-year-old Moscow native served a five-minute sentence for his intervention from the beginning of the third period and until the end of the match for an illegal intervention in the head or neck area. Now the chairman of the disciplinary, Viktor Ujčík, has decided to suspend him.
“The intervention was directed at an opponent who had recently had a duel with another of the opponents. The intervention was not conducted at high speed and the player did not separate his hands from his body, but he violated the principle that he is obliged to proceed in such a way that he does not endanger the opponent’s health in a ruthless manner. In a collision led from the position of the so-called third player in the duel, he hit the opponent in the head area, “said Ujčík after studying the video.
