Bans for Korobov and Atyushov

In response to a request from the Refereeing Department, the KHL Disciplinary Committee has studied episodes from two of Monday’s games in the Championship.

In the 17^th minute of the match in Vladivostok between Admiral and Dinamo Minsk, visiting defenseman Dmitry Korobov  (№24) was given a double minor plus game misconduct penalty (2+2+20 minutes) for leaving the players bench. The Committee supported the referee’s decision and has imposed on the Minsk man a fine and a two-game suspension.

As this was the player’s second 20-minute penalty of the current season, he incurs an additional fine and an automatic fone-game ban for repeat offending. Dmitry Korobov is therefore suspended for a total of three games.

In the final few seconds of the match in Khabarovsk between Amur and Jokerit Helsinki, Amur defenseman Vitaly Atyushov received a major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes) for injuring an opponent by checking to the head and neck area. This verdict was also upheld the Committee, and as a result, he has been handed a fine and a one-game suspension.
