Hutchinson banned for 2 games

In the third period of Friday’s game in Zagreb between Medvescak and Slovan Bratislava, home team defenseman Andrew Hutchinson deliberately used his elbow to strike visiting forward Ladislav Nagy, who sustained a deep cut to his face as a result. After reviewing the incident, the KHL Disciplinary Committee upholds the referee’s decision to punish the foul with a major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes) for elbowing, and has suspended Hutchinson for two games.
