In response to a request from the Refereeing Department, the KHL Disciplinary Committee has investigated an episode which occurred toward the end of Thursday’s match in Khabarovsk between Amur and Dinamo Minsk.
In the 59th minute, unnoticed by the match officials, Minsk defenseman Dmitry Korobov jabbed Khabarovsk defenseman Ilya Gorokhov with his stick. After reviewing the incident, the Committee found Korobov guilty of spearing, for which he receives a major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes), a fine, and a one-game suspension.
