Streltsov’s penalties overturned

The KHL Disciplinary Committee met on the 28th of September to examine an incident which occurred in the previous evening’s game between Atlant and Avtomobilist, and which resulted in a game penalty being handed out to the Yekaterinburg team’s forward, Alexander Streltsov.

In the 40th minute of the encounter Streltsov received a major penalty and an automatic disqualification for the rest of the game (5+20 minutes) for using his elbow to strike an opponent. Having reviewed all the material connected with the incident, the Disciplinary Committee decided to overturn both punishments.
