Ryspayev banned for 1 game
In the second minute of Thursday’s game in Saint Petersburg between SKA and Barys Astana, a fight broke out involving forwards Evgeny Artyukhin of SKA and Damir Ryspayev of Barys, for which both players received a major penalty for fisticuffs.
As this was the Astana man’s third 5-minute penalty of the current season, he incurs an automatic one-game suspension for repeat offending. Damir Ryspayev is therefore banned from appearing in today’s game against Jokerit in Helsinki.
