In response to a request from the Refereeing Department, the KHL Disciplinary Committee has investigated an incident from the 39th minute of Tuesday’s match in Vladivostok between Admiral and Medvescak Zagreb, in which visiting defenseman Blake Parlett was sent to the locker room for spearing.
After reviewing all the available evidence, the Committee supported the referee’s decision, which means the major plus game misconduct penalty (5+20 minutes) remains in force and the player must pay a fine. Furthermore, as this was Parlett’s second 20-minute penalty of the season, he incurs a separate fine and an automatic one-game suspension.
