Kugryshev banned for 1 game

The KHL Disciplinary Committee has reviewed an episode from Wednesday’s game in Mytishchi between Atlant and Sibir Novosibirsk. In the 59th minute, visiting forward Dmitry Kugryshev, who had completed a hat-trick a mere nine minutes earlier, ended the game on an unhappy note when he received a major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes) for checking from behind. 

The Committee upholds the referee’s decision and has suspended the Novosibirsk man for one game.
