Jaakola banned for 1 game
In case of Jokerit’s Topi Jaakola, sent off for slashing at the end of the second period, it was not his first serious foul of the season. The 32-year-old defenseman had previously picked up a 20-minute penalty for kneeing an opponent in a game against Dinamo Riga in late October. As a result, Topi Jaakola incurs an automatic one-game suspension.
