Tsvetkov banned for 1 game

The KHL Disciplinary Committee has reviewed an episode from Wednesday’s game in Moscow between CSKA and crosstown rival Dynamo. With only 18 seconds of regulation time remaining, Red Army forward Geoff Platt was injured by an illegal hit from Dynamo forward Alexei Tsvetkov. After reviewing the incident, the Committee upheld the referee’s decision to punish the foul with a major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes), for checking to the head or neck area, and has suspended Alexei Tsvetkov for one game.
